Last month while John Yoo and I were larping around central Europe in search of the rule of law, we happened to make the acquaintance of former (and perhaps future?) Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who graciously agreed to sit down for a conversation about his broad gauge view of the world scene right now. We heard him give a terrific speech at the Danube Institute, which you can take in at the beginning of this YouTube video.
In our conversation Abbott ranges from the Ukraine War and the Middle East to the Climate Cult and the ruin of identity politics everywhere. We also digress to learn more about the origins of Australia’s mandatory voting system, which reformers in the U.S. sometimes think we should try. I’m sure you’ll agree both from our conversation and the video linked above that he has a better grasp of important things than just about every leader in Europe (or America) at the moment.
