When’s he going to fuck off to live in a monastery and take a vow of silence?
The liberals are leaning so far right now that even Tony Abbott is telling them to not go further 😝
Who the fuck cares what he says
Tony Abbott was a horrible PM and is a horrible person. Regardless of what he says, ignore him.
Thats funny, i thought our largest religion was no religion at 39%.
All Christians come in at 42% but thats made up of Catholic, Anglican, Seventh day, Jehovah witness etc.. and while all Christians, theyre all very different Christians
Hmmmm wonder what the term Judaeo-Christian is designed to exclude.
Imagine thinking we’re a religious country and being fucking wrong
No we fucking aren’t.
Oi Abbott Australia is a secular state, despite you protecting Pell
Get this grub’s face off my screen, it’s truly haunting
Hey Tony – like most Australians, I am neither. Go munch an onion.
Tony has no place saying what we “are.” Because the Census says we “are” a mostly agnostic/atheist society. So get fucked.
What about us Austro Atheists?
I’m not Judeo or Christian myself.
Atheists only would be much better
Is the is same guy that said Pell was a saint for our times?
Angus Taylor is Tony Abbott lite, similar qualifications, even bigger moron.
Fuck off Abbott. Non religion is taking over Christianity. As the lastest census studies says.
Who is this Chud? Didn’t he eat an onion and get head-butted…. that’s all I remember from it
This guy is talking about going back to the 50’s, the White Australia Policy. He probably wants to start another stolen generation. Ley is probably the smartest one here ditching the party before it tries to outdo One Nation but fall into oblivion. They’re fucked.
I thought Australia was secular. As Jews make up less than 0.5% of the population, where even does the Judeo in Judeo-Christian come from?
Angus’s days are numbered from today. Revolving door of more and more extreme right wing leaders.
In 2021 the most common religions were:
Christianity (43.9%)
No religion (38.9%)
Islam (3.2%)
Hinduism (2.7%)
Buddhism (2.4%)
Doesn’t seem particularly Judeo?
Can we just keep sky daddy of any variety out of fucking politics?
Judeao Christian my ass, we are a secular country. Time for a new party other than labor or librals. We don’t want any politician who’s for sale, or afraid of the overlords.
Seems strange you would not include one of the three branches of the Abrahamic religion. Something tells me if tony was alive in the 40s he probably wouldn’t have included Jews then either.
He’s now so desperate for relevance he’s even talking to the ABC. Never did that when he was PM.
I’m shocked the guy who gave character certificate to Pell has so much support in Australia. I’d rather have Pauline call me garbage immigrant than this vile person lecture me about values of Australians.
Having fled a theocracy – there is NO PLACE FOR RELIGION IN GOVERNMENT- keep Australia secular and respectful!!!!!!!!
I don’t think we’re Christian in the slightest, but it’s clear they’re trying to cater to the Judaeo crowd with this statement.
Last I checked, only about 0.5% of Australians identify as Jewish. I get that they’re in the news after the awful events at Bondi, but why is a minority minority religion (in Australia) so much a part of recent political discourse?
The suppository of all wisdom has been blabbing a lot today.
Taylor’s One Nation heavy, not light, according to his racist dogwhistle, his anti-immigration stance, and his yearning to send Australia back to 19th century squattocracy or whatever.

What’s more, it’s not as if a man like him from a wealthy family has any notion of what “standard of living” means to most in Australia.
Irrelevant loser, irrelevant party
Can we kick out this cunt and take all his assets. Veep central
What’s really crazy about this statement is how Abbott thinks the Australian public is bursting in anticipation for whatever tripe he wants to spit out.
Why can’t he just email Angus and save us from his pontification.
Once again I’d like to thank Julia Gillard for being the ONLY living ex-PM who has gotten on with their life without the need for constant media attention.
This onion eater. Australia is either no religion or all religions. Pick one.
Onion man yells at a cloud.
Why is this numbnut still getting a platform?
I expected him to have relocated to the UK by now to kiss arse for a knighthood and/or marry his daughters off to chinless minor nobility.
Less we forget, this is the buffoon who gave the Duke of Edinburgh a knight-hood!
He was an embarrassment as an Australian Prime Minister.
Please don’t give him the air-time to voice his ideas about religion, or anything else for that matter.
I don’t think has-been-Tony Abbott and the majority of thinking Australians are with him vis-a-vis “Australian values”.
Abbot is yet another Christian who doesn’t follow the example of Christ.
(You know that guy who went around helping the poor, the sick, the lepers and outcasts)
Where does the “Judaeo” bit come from? Sure, I can accept if you want to say that historically European settlers in Australian were Christian (although technically they were Protestant Christians with Catholics treated as second class for many years) but we have no significant role for “Judaeo” in our history. I’m not saying it’s not there, but no more so than say muslim or Buddhism influenced which have also had a presence here.
Why anyone would listen to the man who absolutely trashed the Liberal Party and sowed the seeds of its current malaise is beyond me. Tony rode into office with a three word slogan and thought it was brilliant. Australia had a decade of “policies” that were of a similar depth. Yesterday Sussan offered five of her own and now Angus is selling more empty platitudes about “improving living standards” (whatever the fuck that means). I swear if I hear one of the gormless morons utter the phrase “back on track” again…
The Liberals want to know what the problem is? They’ve given us very little beyond hollow three word cliches for the better part of 15 years.
Here’s a three word reality check for them: that’s the problem!
Dear Tony.
Australia has no official religion. Also, there’s nearly as many people who describe themselves as having no religion as people who say they are Christian.
Christianity (43.9%)No religion (38.9%)Islam (3.20%)Hinduism (2.70%)Buddhism (2.40%)Sikhism (0.80%)Judaism (0.40%)Other religions (0.50%)Not stated (7.20%)
Now go eat an onion.
Why the fuck should anyone care what the most embarrassing dickhead who came out of this country in the last 50 years thinks? Genuine question.
There’s no such thing as ‘Judeo-Christian’.
