ON A VISIT to a farm in Tasmania, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott decided to sample some of the local fresh produce.
That all sounds fine until you find out he bit into a raw onion that still had the skin on it.
The Mercury reports Abbott was watching the grading of onions on a conveyor belt at the farm and just picked one up like an apple to take a bite.
“I may have said ‘it’s a shame they weren’t peeled’ and he just started eating it,” the farm owner said.
There were no tears in the leader’s eyes as he continued to chew on the raw onion (and skin) and he later said it was better than any other onions he’s tasted for a long time.
Understandably, people have been having a bit of fun with the incident:

Now lets all celebrate with a nice glass of turnip juice.
Fair dinkum….
Just as well the farmer didn’t introduce Abbott to any of his livestock. Would’ve been a bloodbath.
This is the most amazing bit of news I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I don’t think any demonstration of journalism will ever top this humdinger.
Ah no, this isn’t going to be like that boring thing last year when we had celeb’s getting buckets of iced- water tipped over them is it ? Youtube swamped with gobshines biting onions now ?
Well I suppose it’s better than yesterday’s breaking news of ‘Man gets hit in the crotch with football’
Can you post a link to that Fran – am raging I missed that….
Tony Abbott eating an onion has Tony Abbot eating an onion, but football in the groin has a football in the groin!
:-(
The Journal has hit a new low
Tony Abbott is such a g@bshite.
this is news ? seriously.
If you peel my skin I won’t cry but you will ……what am I ??
A dead relative?
A Windbag?
He’d bring a tear to a glass eye would Tony .
THAT’S not a knife. Never mind though, I don’t need one.
I see YOU’ve played knifey spoony before.
