My Take
Tony Abbott is a figure I regard with a mix of fascination and ambivalence. London-born, a Rhodes Scholar, and eventually Australia's 28th prime minister, he embodies a certain unbending conviction that defined his polarising tenure. I do not have to agree with all his politics to recognise the sheer force of will it took to climb that high and lead the Liberal Party for years. His 2022 Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun reflects real service to Japan-Australia ties. Whatever one thinks of his policies, the stubborn clarity of his beliefs is hard to ignore.
