He was approached by the Daily Telegraphy as he emerged from the surf near his home in Sydney. “Scott never warned, not warned anyone. Certainly, he never warned me. I spoke³ to him on Friday, not a hind⁴ of warning. So I’m afraid, Scott, badly misled people, badly misled people and look, I was doing what I could.” Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
