I'm from Tony's electorate. He is a solid good guy - always the first to step in (with no fanfare) and help (volunteer Fire Brigde, Surf Rescue, cake stalls etc), speaks straight as an arrow, present at every fund raiser for good causes (even when there was no press or political benefit) - the sort of guy you'd want next to you in the trenches. When he walked down the street or paddled out into the surf, he got respect and thumbs up (always G'Day Tony - never good morning Mr Abbott, or hello Mr Prime Minister). Unfortunatley due to high property values, people from the city moved into Tony's coastal electorate, and a Soros/union funded outfit called GetUp, arranged protestors and busses of multiple voters (witnessed with my own eyes) and he was voted out (of the safest conservative seat in the country). The UK is lucky (very lucky) to have Tony involved in UK affairs. Australia is much diminished for his absence.

Abbott was a career politician. Claiming otherwise after losing his seat and becoming unemployable in Australia is gross hypocrisy. Abbott was a cynical political opportunist, his cause was self advancement and when he became prime minister he had no plan and no mandate to do anything other than “stop the boats”. It took him over 12 months after becoming prime minister to come up with a positive persona/agenda (that lasted a single news cycle) declaring that he wanted to be known as “the infrastructure prime minister”. He is not remembered for any infrastructure, only for being a tricky, nasty politician.

Bloody hell we could do with this man in our own government right now, sadly I don't think either Sunak or Truss have an ounce of backbone or conviction and I see the migrant crisis continuing to grow out of control

I would vote for this guy, it is just a stark reminder of how bereft we are of decent principled politicians in the UK!

Australia had a policy years ago called the White Australia policy. The problem was with one word “White.”If they had called it the cultural cohesion policy it probably would’ve been okay. A policy that seeks to make sure migrants fit in in terms of language, religion and values isn’t a bad thing. But unfortunately in the early 70s a leftist government was elected. The first thing they did was get rid of the white Australia policy. It was a racist they said. And here we are. Sydney now is unrecognisable - it is like the third world. The Chinese have bought up the real estate and the Indians have made sure wages have stayed low. Where I live is predominantly Asian. The only “ white” men I ever see are the homeless.

Meet up with the smugglers part way across and instead of offering a taxi service, give the smuggler more than they earned to turn around and take them back and escort them back drop them off without their deposit and get the smuggler out of the area so they cant do another run. Not rocket science and far cheaper than them coming here to rip off the system for life and destroy our way of life.
