It's been a mammoth project telling the story of Australia but I'm excited this single-volume history will be available in bookstores in mid-October. Link, for anyone wishing to pre-order: https://t.co/BwKkVMZMYg

So good to have GG Sam Mostyn launch Australia: A History on Friday night. A heartfelt thank you to all involved in making the book and the doco happen. The book is in stores today and the doco screens at 7:30pm on @SkyNewsAust

I’ve really enjoyed working with the @SkyNewsAust team on the doco accompanying my history of Australia. The producers and crew have done a really outstanding job, using archival footage and stunning visuals to bring Australia’s story to life.

Is there a national leader anywhere in a major Western country with a coherent plan to revitalise the economy, to reinvigorate institutions, and to restore national pride? People like Macron and Starmer will talk along these lines, but by failing to control immigration, by

In a new history of Australia, former prime minister Tony Abbott has written a fresh perspective on the story of our great nation. Even his harshest critics are impressed: https://t.co/uzgpMxes3Y

It goes without saying that Australia is a country with an immigrant character. But just because we always have been and always will be a settler society, doesn't mean that immigration should be anyone, from everywhere, all the time. Right now, sustained record migration is

Why assimilate into the English-speaking heart of a West that’s lost faith in itself? Young Americans are taught that slavery is their original sin, even though a bloody war was fought to eliminate it. Young Britons are told that Britain’s was a slave empire, even though it was

Over the past 24 hours, especially talking to young people, I’ve been really struck by the impact Charlie Kirk has had on their lives. He’s been a force for faith and is now a martyr for free speech. His life should inspire more of us to be more like him: an exemplar of

I’m mourning the shocking death of Charlie Kirk. He championed the pursuit of open debate and intellectual freedom in places of education, and did so with great courage. My prayers are for his wife and children at this dire time.

Jacinta Price will be a big loss to the frontbench but I’m confident that she will continue to make a strong contribution to our public life.

Just because immigration is a sensitive subject doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be discussed. In settler societies, there’s often a particular reticence because almost everyone is an immigrant or the descendant of immigrants and raising immigration issues can seem “personal” in a way

Meeting the Odesa fire and rescue chief. Well over a hundred emergency services personnel have been killed in ‘double tap’ Russian attacks

Rather than adjust to the unwelcome challenge of autocracies on the march, the general public of every Western country not-immediately-threatened has taken it for granted that nothing hard will ever be asked of them. We know that Israelis and Ukrainians think their countries

Today I am pleased to launch my own Substack, The Tony Abbott Newsletter.   Over the years I’ve had the privilege of contributing to public debate through parliament and the media. Now, I’m taking those conversations to a new audience. The Tony Abbott Newsletter will be a place

Recognition of Palestine should be a reward for good behaviour not bad. Recognising Palestine with Hamas still armed, still holding hostages, still largely running Gaza and withholding aid, and still pledged to the destruction of Israel is unconscionable. By all means suggest

It should not be for judges to decide when a political protest is justified. The decision to close the Sydney Harbour Bridge to facilitate this protest is a political decision and should be made by elected and accountable ministers - who as it happens, think the march should not

.@HonTonyAbbott: America’s allies have to rediscover their economic vigor, martial strength and sense of national purpose. If Trump can make that happen, he will have done us all a favor. https://t.co/yA8YkuIv28

Immensely privileged to welcome the 28th Prime Minister of Australia, the Hon Tony Abbott, to Rome this weekend.

If we stick with Net Zero, our economy will weaken, living standards will suffer and the electricity price advantage we once enjoyed will be even more of a distant memory, writes former Nationals senator Ron Boswell.
