NP: "shirtfront"

[John Bailey]

They're both huge fans of a) getting their tops off and b)
embarrassing their nations. Should be an interesting meeting (although
it's unlikely it will be reported on given that Abbott's government
explicitly aims to make illegal any journalism that isn't in the
ruling party's interest).
