Book Description
You've seen him wearing speedos, kissing babies, driving a mining truck and chatting to his flock. But who is the real Tony Abbott? As the Bible says, by his words you shall know him. He's a concerned parent: ''I won't be rushing out to get my daughters vaccinated against cervical cancer.'' A philanthropist: ''We just can't stop people from being homeless if that's their choice.'' A nature lover: ''Environmentalism might hurt the environment.'' A champion of women's rights: ''I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons.'' And a wise preacher: ''Jesus knew that there was a place for everything and it is not necessarily everyone's place to come to Australia.'' In the grand tradition of Bushisms and The Wit of Whitlam, here are Tony Abbott's words, unvarnished and full of revelations - the very best and worst of Australia's irrepressible mad monk.

Book Description
You've seen him wearing speedos, kissing babies, driving a mining truck and campaigning on Big Brother. But who is the real Tony Abbott? In the grand tradition of Bushisms and The Wit of Whitlam, here are the sayings of Australia's Prime Minister, unvarnished and rich in revelation - the very best and worst of Abbott, the irrepressible mad monk. Tony speaks - on family: 'If you want to know who to vote for, I'm the guy with the not bad looking daughters.' Adversaries: 'Does this guy ever shut up?' Honesty: There will always be some issues that are contentious, but the best way to deal with them is openly, candidly and behind closed doors.' Female colleagues: 'They're young, feisty, I think I can probably say have a bit of sex appeal and they're just very connected with the local area.' Poverty: 'we just can't stop people from being homeless if that's their choice' Climate change: 'absolute crap' Christian teaching: 'Jesus knew that there was a place for everything and it is not necessarily everyone's place to come to Australia.' And that's just a taste . . .

Dark Side of North

Dark Side of North PDF Author: Anthony S. Abbott
Publisher: Press 53
ISBN: 9781950413317
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 170

Book Description
Stunning, lyrical, elegiac, and spiritual, Dark Side of North is Anthony S. Abbott's magnum opus. Its pages are filled with heartache and humor, wonder and wisdom, faith and fierceness, love and loss, grit and grace. Dark Side of North breaks your heart and then stitches it back together again-seamlessly. The poems provide a rare peephole into the heart-space of a man who traverses the terrain of the third stage of life, and now courageously stands on the threshold of death's cabin in the woods. As such the collection speaks hope directly into our particular pandemic cultural moment of loss, lament, and self-introspection. Thanks to Abbott's brilliance, readers of this book will rediscover how to "receive each morning as a wrapped gift," and find themselves pointed once again toward their true north. - Dr. Jacqueline Bussie
