FILE - In this Sept. 18, 2013 file photo, Tony Abbott, left, talks with Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, right, after being sworn in as the 28th prime minister of Australia at Government House in Canberra. Abbott and Bishop on Thursday, July 31, 2014 sent mixed messages on whether Russia was frustrating Dutch and Australian police efforts to retrieve the bodies of victims of the Malaysian airliner disaster in war-torn east Ukraine. Bishop said she feared Russia was behind the daily artillery barrages blocking police, while Abbott said it was too early to judge. Abbott has declined to follow the U.S. and European examples by ratcheting up sanctions against Russia in a bid to pressure President Vladimir Putin into ending his country's support for the separatists.
