Abbott's greatest feat was to expose the lies and incompetence of KRudd and Juliar and get them tossed out in disgrace.

The next great steps were to stop the illegal boats and ditch the carbon tax.

Getting rid of 18c would have been great but it was a bridge too far for the intolerant left.

Why do people still listen to this bloke?

His: “stop the boats, scrap the taxes, build the roads and balance the budget.” instead saw successive Coalition governments completely blow out the budget.

Scraping the taxes on mining companies saw them exporting our gas to other countries rather than either setting a decent proportion of it aside to drive down our own energy prices or using the tax to subsidise buying it back for our own use. The US for a long while forbade the export of energy in order to give their industry access to a real competitive advantage.

Instead we have been allowing the multinationals to strip this country of one of its great natural resources and instead try and shovel us toward the use of a far dirtier energy source; coal.

He was not even a one termer for a reason, he was hopeless.Why do people still listen to this bloke?

Tony Abbott is probably the best placed at doing something positive than most other mainstream political leaders. But there are fundamental conflicts with the principles of the Liberal Party and the interests of British Australians.

Mark Latham- The Population Ponzi video highlights issues with immigration and the complicity of special interest groups.

Thanks Mr Abbott for contributing on OLO- I applaud the concept of The Ramsay Centre in these times

Which page of the lefty hymn book did that pile of smelly stuff come from SR?

Who cares what Tony Abbott has to say about anything? As I often say, Gough Whitlam dragged Australia kicking and screaming into the 20th century, and Tony Abbott did everything he could to keep us there.

Gough dragged Aus into debt and dodgy deals and set up the liberals for nearly 2 decades after he was dismissed in disgrace.
