Tony Abbott Says Cabinet Position Would Give Him And Government Best Chance Of Passing 2014 Budget

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has made it clear he would like to return to the front bench, saying it would give him time to focus on the important work of passing legislation for the 2014 budget.

That’s where this government is perhaps missing a trick”
