## Resource

Tony Abbott is back with a vengeance, seizing the federal Liberal leadership and launching a bold new strategy to rebuild the party from the ground up. He’s rallying members to hit 250,000, positioning the Liberals as the “patriot party” ready to lead a “people’s revolt” against Australia’s “spiritual malaise.” Drawing inspiration from Canada’s Conservatives, Abbott argues this patriotic identity will make the Liberals “unbeatable,” tapping into deep national pride. He’s already going after the government, criticizing Albanese’s approach to national symbols as evidence of ambivalence toward the nation. Meanwhile, Alexander Downer joins as deputy president, echoing Abbott’s call for aggressive grassroots growth and even suggesting the party must become “media tarts” to dominate the narrative. This is a clear, high-stakes push to energize the base and present a unified, defiant front ahead of the next election. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
