Absolute blinder from Abbot!
Tony Abbott
I’m a big fan of this podcast, listened to all the discussions with various personalities, many I may not agree with but good insights. However, there’s always one…deary me Abbott…how in the name of god that clown was Aussie PM? in fairness he lasted less than 2 years…and listening to his insights and his take on matters ,no surprise…his observations re “illegal migration “ and how he handled it and how this might help the U.K. in its dealings across the channel beggar belief…not least that GB dump them back in France…like I said he lasted about 21 months …nuff said..
Great but…
Please get better microphones!
