Ah yes, the former Minister for Women.

A very simple song to the tune of Guantanamera:

Fuck Tony Abbott
Fuck Tony Abbott
Fuck Tony Aaaaaaabbott
Fuck Tony Aaaaaaabbott

I was just about to ask "I know that name from somewhere and it has a negative connotation. Do I remember that correctly?". This song gave me the confidence to say "yes".

Why is the headline mentioning Abbott? How is he relevant?

It should say "with Opposition leader support". Am impressed with his stance.

He lobbied the party to oppose the bill. Which is unsurprising, because he prevented an abortion bill from being available during his time in the Howard government as health minister. And because he is an extreme right-wing religious ideologue that still has power in the party.
