Tony Abbott (Warringah, Liberal Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

My point is that the Leader of the Opposition revelled in this particular nickname. He is quoted in the article as saying:

You know, it could have been worse. I could have been called Morticia, Rasputin or Pol Pot.

These are nicknames that the Leader of the Opposition used to describe himself. I say this to the Australian people: whether it is Dr Death or Pol Pot, do not trust him with the health system.
