Tony Abbott in frame for Liberal Party presidency
Former prime minister Tony Abbott is in frame to become president of the Liberal Party of Australia. Abbott, who lost his Sydney seat and left federal parliament in 2019, would take the party's most high-profile role since his time as prime minister if appointed. The move would align Abbott with ally Angus Taylor and comes as the Coalition trails Labor by about 8 to 10 points and often polls behind One Nation. The appointment matters because Abbott's presidency could reshape party policy and candidate selection, boosting conservative influence ahead of the next federal election.

Sarah A Styles6Just when you think the Liberals couldn't sink any lower, they say "no Sarah, we have reached a new lack of awareness that you didn't count on". Bozo's. #auspol
PaulWA145Abbott got the flick from his seat in Parliament and just wont take the hint, he is about as popular as a fart in an elevator but just refuses to go away. #auspol
This is sure to end well. Since losing his seat in 2019, Mr Abbott has had a reverse Midas touch. His latest defeat was in Hungary. Mr Abbott is a big fan of Viktor Orbán. He's also a big fan of Ben Roberts Smith, who he says has been 'persecuted'. #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Tim Stephens9"Taylor, likely to lose Sussan Ley’s seat of Farrer in a byelection on Saturday, has told several people he is confident Abbott would handle the role in a disciplined manner and refrain from generating unwanted headlines, according to sources familiar with the conversations." That's optimistic!
DrJulieAH5Might as well go all in. What have the Liberals got to lose apart from everything?

The federal Liberal Party is looking to install Tony ‘immigrant’ Abbott as president. Abbott lost one of the safest seats in the country to a self funded political novice. Great move. Well done Liberals. #AusPol

TweetingTechno2Well, if it happens, I think Labor can be a bit more adventurous with policy. If the platform they run on doesn't include human sacrifice, they're fine.
