I just think it's sad that politics in AUstralia is reduced to that sort of thing.
The worm hit Abbott hard because he didn't really have anything positive to say. The PM spoke well and clearly about a positive change that he wants to make, certainly one that is popular in Sydney, which i am assuming is where the worm people were (for Ch7 at least).
