Have the Brits pulled their finger out and implemented Tony's directives ......
I actually don't think Tony has any other feathers in his bow than "stop the boats". What a p!ss poor performance. Was this guy really PM, or was it just a bad dream? The speech was something straight outta the seminary. Dogmatic world view from yesteryear dressed up as some sort of good v evil battle. I'm no Thatcher fan, but she ran rings around Abbott in every which way. Hopefully his farewell tour doesn't become like a John Farnham one.
God knows what the Tories were thinking. Maybe it was some wit's idea of satirical humour?

Shirtfronted - The story of the Abbott government - by Peter Hartcher
Command and control: Critics of Abbott's chief of staff say that co-dependency blinded him to the change that might have saved him.

...Some days after the February spill, Fierravanti-Wells, a conservative ally of Abbott's, is reputed to have spoken to Credlin about the downfall of his government and prophesied: "One day Tony will be sitting on a park bench in Manly feeding the pigeons and he will blame you."...
Abbott's speech was total cr@p, the dynamics of the two regions are totally different. We are an island at the bottom of the world, a small target compared to Europe and Britain and therefore much harder to reach. Britain is connected to Europe by a tunnel and with a much smaller distance to travel from the trouble spots.
It's an act of pure fantasy to believe turn the boats back could work in Europe.
If you've ever encountered a Peta Credlin in the workplace, you'd understand. Hartcher says Credlin opposed Ministerships for Sussan Ley and Marise Payne, neither of whom have put a foot wrong.
So I think we can be a little more forgiving of the Turnbull/Bishop insurrection.
Credlin afterwards showed her form by running straight into the arms of her Feminista sisters.
I don't think Credlin nor Abbott have finished yet. There are divisive games still being played out......
No wonder they gave him the flick:

Two Australian Prime Ministers willingness to act on two issues stands out. These issues are proving to be seen worldwide as necessary and desirable objectives.
The outstanding and successful implementation by these two PM's is a legacy to their determination in “making it happen”.
1. John Howard and his gun control
2. Tony Abbott and his securing Australia’s borders against illegal immigrants.
Recontesting? Good. He'll be the better for the experience, and he'll be back.Tones is going to recontest his seat at the next election.

He's had his day in politics in my view and would be better stepping aside.
He won't be PM again.Recontesting? Good. He'll be the better for the experience, and he'll be back.
Abbott is a deluded fool. Just because a few of his Tory mates in the LP want him he thinks the electorate does.
He's unelectable as PM and should realise that.
Ha Rumpy, now and then,I have to agree with you.:iagree:
Off topic.....:topic......I think Barnacle Bill is less likely to be elected.
