The Monk and the Cardinal

I think it was about the time of the last Federal Election in Australia and there was some allegation of Tony Abbot's meeting with the Cardinal George Pell - not that I could see anything wrong with that. But he was asked and asked and he denied and denied that such a meeting ever took place. And then on Lateline one night the presenter guy says to Tony, "Well what would you say if I've got a witness who claims that such a meeting took place last week?" Tony did not look pleased - "Oh yes I do remember now" - and after the interview he suggested to the presenter guy that he would remember being embarrassed for being caught out, in such a way that concrete boots, mafia and disappearnace should not be far from the presenter's sleep that night.
