Last September, Turnbull defeated Abbott in a leadership spill 54-44. The next day, Abbott fronted the media and promised there would be "no wrecking, no undermining and no sniping" against Turnbull or those who had voted for him. He planned to remain in parliament, though, and he was totally, 100% Not Mad At All™.

Ever since, Abbott has been telling anyone who'll listen that he's totally fine, and not even a little bit mad about being thrown out of the top office by his colleagues. He's actually heaps fine with it.

In late September last year he appeared on radio to urge Liberal voters to still support Turnbull. Abbott condemned the "revolving door prime ministership", but he wasn't mad. Not at all.
