You cannot reward bad governments, the consertive party has betrayed its voting base, it needs to understand that if they do not do what the voters have asked them then there are consequences. Zero seats for the conservatives, vote reformđŹđ§

Brexit was a historic effort of ONE man Nigel Farage not the Tories or conservative in name government we need a Nigel in Australia †Dutton is just a cop and we know how they have let their nation down over the last few years

Tony Abbot makes so much sense.
-
WOW Tones is still smarting about that shirtfront đđđ
-
What do you mean Russia has never suffered defeat? They were defeated and destroyed by the Bolsheviks. Australia has never suffered a defeat. Does that make Australia bad? Tony's logic is off.
-
Tony is awesome, but no way I would vote Tory if I was a UK citizen, Reform for sure.
-
Respect to Tony but that Tory government has to go. It is nothing more than a blurry mirror of its opposition and doesn't deserve another term. Labour will win but I doubt they'll see out the full 5 years. After that Reform will be elected either in coalition with the Tories or as a replacement that has absorbed them.

We need Tony back

Tony Abbott always creates feelings of despair in me.

If Albanese had balls he would demand the release of the Australian citizen or all ties with UK will be cut.

Why can a Country at war not buy its own military supplies? Why does it have to beg other countries for assistance. Surely a country can buy its own military supplies.

Abbott - You know back in the Oxbridge days, I really did badly beat some chaps around the ring! Oooohhh mummy mummy Mr Putin grabbed me by the shirt front like a wealy bad man! And...scene....for the britty bumboy who found his god...đ

he is right they are both hopeless but labor is the worst

I believe Tony is the best PM we've had since Howard, but he's off the mark on a few things. Regarding Tories v Reform, Liz Truss's interview with Lotus Eaters was eye opening, how anyone can vote Tory after that is beyond me. Regarding the crises in Israel and Ukraine, you can't mention these without acknowledging that failed US leadership under Biden is chiefly to blame. The previous policies regarding Nordstream 2 and the Abraham Accords were very positive, both were thrown out after Biden took office. It's also worth mentioning the borderline corrupt dealings of Bidens in Ukraine that have also exacerbated the issues and mistrust there. Lastly, I think this podcast needs to spend some time discussing the current state of degeneracy and immorality in the so called free liberal Western democracies. Those forces are just as dangerous as the crises abroad.

Toneys behind the times its the war in the Pacific now

Only the IPA would even contemplate what our future looks like without this disaster in our midst. Tony Abbott was a man without morals or scruples and, when he finally achieved the power he craved, turned out to have neither plans nor policies except to hang onto that power. All he did manage to achieve was to embarrass us on the world stage. We are well rid of him and the UK Tories are fools who deserve to lose if they listen to a word he says.

I'm a swing voter...but l will never vote for A Dutton Govt. He was part of morrisons govt and frankly l felt his unimaginative defence of "Scotty's" policies despite pundit forcasts and growing evidence just points to his desire to "follow the leader"! In fairness his electorate keeps voting him in so they see something l may have missed. That the liberals got flogged by the current labor minority govt suggests that this conservative approach tied to their climate change ambition allowed a 3rd party (greens) to get a firm grip in Australian politics

I have the highest respect and regard for what tony says but on the subject of forage and braverman, I fully agree with Dan. If Tories genuinely want to do what's best for the UK, they will put personalities aside and if people see that there would have been at least a chance for the Tories to get in. The Tories are on the nose because they've gone very left. Braverman and Farage would've veered them back to their true instincts
-
Tony, I understand the reasons for your compassion regarding Ukraine but believe it has blurred your ability to address this issue in a fair and balanced manner.

This is the future for the libs in Australia
