Tony Abbott and Peta Credlin “fight back” in new podcast

Tony Abbott is once again joining forces with former Chief of Staff, Peta Credlin, for their new podcast, Abbott and Credlin.

In an interview with The Australian, Mr Abbott said that the podcast will “fight back” against “the start of some sort of long-term crisis for Australian conservatism …”

Launching on Wednesday, July 19, the Sky podcast comes eight years after the pair worked together in politics when Mr Abbott was Prime Minister.

Credlin said they had been working on the idea for a while, and she provided some clues as to what kind of content can be expected.

“…we’ve talked about it to the point that he’s said: ‘Put up or shut up, Peta. If we want to do it, let’s do it’,” Peta said.

“What I got frustrated with post the Morrison era is all these people writing, ‘Oh, it’s the end of conservative politics, we’ve got to junk Menzies, we’ve got to move to the so-called centre,’ and all that rubbish. They don’t know the political history. They don’t understand these aren’t new challenges for conservatism.”

To support the podcast, Mr Abbott will feature on Peta Credlin’s Sky show each fortnight when a new episode is released. 

The first episode of Abbott and Credlin goes live on Wednesday, July 19.

About time! The long march of leftist and indeed Marxist ideology through education, the beaurocracies and even parts of the Liberal Party itself needs constant push back and putting forward Conservative arguments to counter the left and especially the green left.

Better make sure the commentary is fact checked otherwise it’ll just turn into a Trump lite rant. Between Sky News dismal ratings & constant justifiable ridicule… obviously they’ll try anything to make a buck…

Tony Abbott already has 2 podcasts: Australia’s Future and Australia’s Heartland.
His “debut” is his third podcast FYI.

That many will assume this to be an extension of Rupert Murdoch’s right wing misinformation machine is obvious. No doubt Credlin & Sky News appalling ratings… has incentivized these two irrelevant individuals to make some click bait dollars .

Thank you Tony and Peta, at last some balance into a world where the left
loves to shut down any discussion which goes against the post modern political agenda. I hope Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull take to time to tune in. The tide is turning and a peek at the situation in WA where the
polls are indicating a slide in popularity for the WA State Government is the
start of the waking up of middle Australia. Remember the FORGOTTEN PEOPLE, who carry the burden of the country on their backs they are rising
from their slumber to confront Marxist Politics infecting all of AUSTRALIA.
