Twitter hashtag #putoutyouronions as pre-eulogy for Abbott goes viral

The spill is here, and there is simply nothing more to say about it.  So instead we have to go to the most entertaining moment today, and that is that there is a new hashtag trending on Twitter… #putoutyouronions

It’s a hashtag devoted to mock sympathy for our Prime Minister who has been challenged by Malcolm Turnbull to a leadership battle tonight.

It is being called his pre-eulogy.

Take a look at some of the tweets and share your thoughts.

And on every doorstep this September, we remember the leader who brought tears to our eyes #putoutyouronions pic.twitter.com/6tl3k0hkWg
