Everyone laughed at the people who questioned Abbott's citizenship and called them "Abbott birthers". Although we now know Abbott did renounce, in light of recent events the questioning doesn't seem as much of a conspiracy theory as it once did!
except they never once raised it about Gillard, because they were a pack of left-wing nutjobs.

The Abbott birther stuff was around long before that. I was getting contacted by people when I first joined Crikey in 2008 insisting he shouldn't be in parliament.

They didn't really focus on Gillard until she became prime minister and I agree the Abbott birtherism was far more relentless.
-
my issue was more that the ones claiming an Abbott conspiracy were usually left-wingers and never mentioned Gillard or anyone else. they were obsessed with Abbott (and, for a while, Abetz).
