The Liberals got absolutely smashed at two elections in a row, are bleeding voters in every city, and have lost basically an entire generation… so naturally they've decided to dust off Tony Abbott like he's some kind of vintage find at an op shop.
Nothing screams "we've learned absolutely nothing" like handing the wheel to the bloke who turned the party into a fossil fuel appreciation society and a permanent Sky News comment section. Even Advance got sick of him eventually.
This isn't a rebuild. It's a retirement village for ideas that stopped working in 2013, where every problem gets solved with more fear campaigns, more anti-woke carry-on, and more pretending it's still the Howard era.
They've already lost women, young people, cities, moderates, and basically anyone under 60 who reads something other than The Australian. And the answer they've landed on is: "maybe what we need is… more Tony Abbott?"
Mate. Electoral self-immolation usually takes a bit longer than this. -

Tony Abbott as president of the Liberal Party under Angus Taylor?
Honestly, I couldn’t think of a better rat to captain a sinking ship. The Liberals looked at years of electoral warnings and decided the answer was… more iceberg.#auspol #liberals #tonyabbott #angustaylor #madmonk

The greedy suits at SPC made one fatal choice that destroyed Victoria’s iconic fruit cannery and thousands of jobs.
But the LNP government under Prime Minister Tony Abbott rejected SPC’s $25 million request to modernise and save local jobs — calling it “corporate welfare.”
Yet they happily handed $16 million to Cadbury, a foreign-owned multinational.
Classic LNP hypocrisy: no support for Australian workers and food sovereignty, but plenty of taxpayer cash for overseas bosses when it suits them.
We need public ownership of strategic industries, not this selective corporate welfare that guts manufacturing while workers pay the price.#ClassWar #WorkersRights #AussieManufacturing #LNPFail #Auspol #madMonk #SPC

@kcarruthers It disgusts me that a bunch of white men in suits have taken this long to address an absurd policy impacting women’s health, resulting from the #MadMonk’s bias and bollocks.
