3. Russia hits back.

Pravda, still the official mouthpiece of the Russian government, has hit back at Abbott's comments in no uncertain way.

In an email exchange with the ABC's AM program, Pravda journalist Timothy Bancroft-Hinchley said Mr Abbott's comments were "the most blatant example of shit-faced ignorance and pig-headed arrogance the world has seen since the likes of Hitler or Pol Pot". (The emphasis is mine).

Bancroft-Hinchley was speaking after penning an editorial for Pravda, in which he wrote that of Mr Abbott that: "It is difficult to find a more blatant example of childishness, incompetence for the position, criminal intent, downright nastiness and an indication of a disturbed mind crying out for therapy. Don't the Australian people deserve better?".

The Australian people do deserve better, even the dimwits who voted for Abbott. Having a bovver-boy in charge of the country is downright embarrassing, never mind the harm he's doing
