It's interesting today that Abbott has indicated at no time did he say the Tent Embassy should be removed. John Bergin is the head of social media at Sky News. This is the context of Abbott's comments yesterday, according to him:

“@theburgerman: Mr Abbott was asked by a journalist, "Today is also the 40th anniversary of the Tent Embassy in Canberra. (1/2)”

“@theburgerman: *"Do you think it's still relevant or should it move?" (2/2)”

To my way of thinking, it really doesn't matter what Abbott said, the protestors must take responsibility for their actions. But if what Bergin says is true, it's disingenuous of Abbott to say he never suggested the tent embassy should move.
