Israel lobby
“In an AIJAC function in 2013. Abbot was asked what his position was on some aspect or other of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. "Oh, my position is whatever Mark [Leibler] and Colin [Rubenstein] is", he answered.”
Tony Abbott (2013) [1]
Prime Minister
As Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott seems to be promoting the SDS' "war on terrorism" narrative, in sync with European and North American "democratic" governments.
Internet censorship
In September 2014, Tony Abbott stated that "For some time to come, the delicate balance between freedom and security may have to shift", introducing laws to criminalise any speech that the authorities see as "advocating terrorism". He was broadly supported by Bill Shorten, leader of the "opposition", who far from questioning his purpose, declared that "keeping our people safe is above politics".[2]
