So… this just happened.
Frances Abbott – AKA Tony Abbott’s much cooler daughter – just announced that she’s engaged to Olympian Sam Loch.
The couple have been dating for just two weeks.
Yeah… we’ve had milk in the fridge longer than that too.
This ~ super quick ~ engagement has left us with a lot of unanswered questions. We’ve reached out to the lady herself, but in the meantime, here are all of our burning questions…
Who are they and why do we love them?
Abbott, 26, is a personal trainer and body builder from Melbourne. She also happens to be the daughter of our former prime minister, Tony Abbott – but unlike her dad she was a staunch same-sex marriage advocate.

Lets just hope she takes her marital vows more seriously than her father has.
Nope, Tony is, in his own words, "thrilled."
Like we needed any more confirmation he's a totally spineless hypocrite.
Gay couple that have been together for years and years and years = can't get married, that'd somehow affect the bible thumpers "religious freedoms" (which apparently have precedent over everyone else's right to equality).
Straight people who've known each other a fortnight = a blessed union, hurrahs and hand springs all round.
How does this possibly make Tones a hypocrite?
You're conflating 2 completely different issues.
Besides... every single word the man utters is scrutinized, studied and dissected for any hint of anything that can be used against him... what other response do you think he could have had? Well, in public anyway...
