As the so-called, self-appointed ‘prime minister for Indigenous affairs’, Tony Abbott was hopeless and offensive. He shouldn’t be appointed minister
Well, you’ve got to give Tony Abbott’s supporters their dues for loyalty, I suppose. Inside and outside the parliamentary Liberal party they’re calling for him to be brought back into the fold as Indigenous affairs minister, echoing, apparently, the sentiment of the man himself.
But subjecting Indigenous Australia to more Abbott by making him minister overseeing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, in order to sate his bruised ego, just so he’d be peeing from the inside out rather than directing a steady stream the other way, is ill-conceived and unjust.
