TONY Abbott just can’t get enough of raw onions, munching down on yet another of the stinky vegetables in his office today.

The Prime Minister met with Onions Australia CEO Lechelle Earl in Parliament House following his visit to an onion farm in Tasmania last week.

During his visit last week the PM was filmed eating a raw onion, with the skin on, like an apple.

Today he did the same thing in a meeting with Ms Earl in his office.

“He peeled a bit of the skin off this time but he took a few bites,” Ms Earl told News Corp Australia.

“It was a brown onion. He checked it out, remarked that it was similar to the one the other day and then took a few bites and said it was tasty.”

Ms Earl came to Canberra to give a personal thanks to the Prime Minister for backing the onion industry.

She said more Australians should eat onions and encouraged all politicians to follow Mr Abbott’s lead on trying them raw.

Ms Earl baked a sweet potato, feta and caramelised onion quiche and delivered it to Mr Abbott along with 5kg of red and brown Australian onions.

She also had a hamper that included local Canberra onion relish, onion marmalade and some crackers.

“He loved the quiche,” she said.

“He also said he really supports the onion industry and more people should eat Australian onions.”

Ms Earl also delivered a hamper of onions to Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce.

“He was happy to get them but he joked that he would have preferred them to have been Queensland onions,” she said.
