Join John in conversation with former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott as they discuss Tony's new book, Australia: A History. From its Indigenous heritage to its British foundations and immigrant character, Abbott explores how the nation’s past informs its present and future. He urges a renewed appreciation for the principles of egalitarianism and justice that shaped Australia’s remarkable journey.
In this conversation, Abbott reflects on the importance of historical literacy, the impact of individual leadership, and the enduring values that unite Australians. He warns against historical revisionism and advocates for preserving the Anglo-Celtic cultural ethos that continues to define the nation. This is a timely discussion that calls Australians to recover a sense of gratitude and pride in the civilisation they have inherited—and the responsibility to uphold it for generations to come.
Tony Abbott is an Australian former politician who served as the 28th prime minister of Australia from 2013 to 2015. He held office as the leader of the Liberal Party of Australia and was the member of parliament (MP) for the New South Wales division of Warringah from 1994 to 2019.
