[LINK] Strange auto response from Tony Abbott

[Bernard Robertson-Dunn]

When he stopped being the minister for health and ageing, he probably 
lost the MoP(S) staffer who managed his web site. Maybe there's nobody 
left who knows how to maintain it.

The site looks genuine enough, I live about 800 metres outside his 
electorate. I'm in Mackellor - I have Bronwyn Bishop to represent me.

My guess is that a combination of Christmas and a change in government 
has left much of the Australian political internet out of whack with 
reality.
