Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I to rātau rā tuatahi, kāore a Tony Abbott i mutu te kōrero mō te wehenga i waenganui i te ALP (Australian Labor Party) me te DLP (Democratic Labor Party) i te waenganui o ngā tau 1950. I muri mai i to raua whakaipoipo, ka mau ia ki a ia ki te hikoi i te Kokoda Trail - me tetahi hoa i muri - a ka nui tana tuku i nga puawai rohi. Kua kōrero a Margie Abbott, te wahine tuatahi o Ahitereiria, mō te āhua o tana kōrerorero ki te Pirimia ā muri ake nei i roto i tētahi uiuinga i tāngia ki te putanga hou o The Australian Women's Weekly. Kua timata a Margie Abbott (i te pikitia i te hui G20 o Noema, e mau ana i te pea koala) ki te whai waahi nui atu i te taha o tana tane. I korero a Mrs Abbott (me tana tahu a Tony) ki te Women's Weekly me pehea a Mr Abbott i whakaingoa ai ia i te mutunga o nga 1980 - me te champagne, nga rohi, me nga korerorero mo nga kaupapa torangapu. I whakahaerehia e Margie Abbott tētahi uiuinga motuhake ki te putanga hou o Te Rāhoroi o te Wahine o Ahitereiria.

'Ki taku whakaaro i tere tonu ta maua whakatau, kua tutaki maua ki tētahi e hiahia ana mātou ki te noho tahi i te toenga o ō mātou oranga,' i kī a Mrs Abbott ki te Weekly. Ko te uiuinga he wā tūmatanui kore noa iho mō Mrs Abbott, nāna i āhei te noho atu i te tirohanga nui i roto i te mahi tōrangapū a tana tāne neke atu i te rua tekau tau. Heoi anō, kua tino nui ake tana whai wāhi i roto i ngā putanga tūmatanui o Mr Abbott mai i tōna aroaro i te tūponotanga whakaiti o tētahi kaupapa whakaheke ārahi i waenganui o Hui-tanguru. I roto i te uiuinga o te Wiki, i pātai hoki a Mrs Abbott ki ngā pātai e pā ana ki ngā take tōrangapū o nāianei. I whakakahore ia ki te whakautu i ngā pātai e pā ana ki ōna whakaaro mo te Pirimia e whakarere ana i tana kaupapa tuku utu mo te whakamāramatanga mātua. Ko Mrs Abbott, e mahi ana ki te maha o nga mahi atawhai, kua tutuki i a ia tana mahi hei 'Whetu Tuatahi' i nga huihuinga mana.
