29 Mayıs 2026The Guardian

Tony Abbott has been elected as the president of the Liberal Party, marking his return to active politics after a seven-year hiatus. He emphasized that the party is 'under new management' and expressed his commitment to support Angus Taylor in leading a 'people's revolt' against the current Labor government.
Abbott's election was unopposed at the Liberal federal council meeting in Melbourne.
Abbott's election comes at a time when the Liberal Party is facing challenges in regaining public trust and electoral competitiveness after recent losses. His leadership may influence the party's direction and its approach to key issues, particularly in response to Labor's policies.
Abbott's return to the forefront of the Liberal Party signals a potential shift in strategy as the party seeks to galvanize support against the Labor government. His rhetoric of a 'people's revolt' suggests a populist approach aimed at mobilizing grassroots support.
