  Australian Climate Madness — Authority: 146

• Tony Abbott and the politics of denialism

  
  Larvatus Prodeo — Authority: 549
  Tony Abbott appears to have taken that gospel saying about being “cunning as a serpent” to heart, if not the bit about being “gentle as a dove”.

  Stupidica — Authority: 177
  THE Liberal Partys biggest gambles in decades - electing Tony Abbott as Leader of the Opposition and rejecting Labors ETS in the Senate - appear to have paid their first dividends, and in exactly the way the Liberal Party had hoped they would.
