反对党领袖艾伯特与太太辛苦持家

Mrs Abbott revealed that they, like many Australians, had struggled to raise a family and pay the bills and that she took charge of the household finances, despite her holding down a job in child-care."Every time interest rates go up, I'm there with the letter thinking, 'Oh my God'," she said. "I'm in an industry that is underpaid but do it because I love the work - so I'm hoping to stay in that industry."But every dollar counts. We haven't actually had a holiday for about two years."

反对党领袖艾伯特（Tony Abbott）的妻子Margie Abbott在接受悉尼《周日电讯报》专访时表示，她和艾伯特要养三名女儿，辛苦持家，过着朝不保夕的生活。

她披露有时家庭财政入不敷出，朝不保夕。“我们都得面对这些困难，每次加息后收到银行信，心里便会想着，天呵！”

Margie在一家幼儿园工作，她说，虽然这行业工资低，她仍热爱她的工作，“我希望留在这行业。家里每一分钱都是很小心运用，其实我们已经有大约两年没有去度假了。”

艾伯特在旁纠正妻子的说法表示，曾经在海岸边过了数天，但太太补充说，他们通常都住流动屋车公园，车上带着自行车。
