OPPOSITION leader Tony Abbott says he hopes the world doesn't end tomorrow, but he knows how he would spend his last day on Earth.

A US religions group has grabbed international headlines this week claiming it’s the end of the world this weekend - May 21, to be precise.

Harold Camping, the 89-year-old founder of a Christian cult that disseminates numerological interpretations of the Bible to followers via a network of FM radio stations in the US and podcasts on its website.

Familyradio.com says God ''wants us to know that exactly 7000 years after He destroyed the world with water in Noah's day, He plans to destroy the entire world forever''.

Mr Abbott told Channel 9 this morning that he had many plans after this weekend, like continuing to lead the Federal Opposition despite Malcolm Turnbull’s leadership aspirations.

However, he said if there world were to end, he would spend today going for a surf and spending time with his family.

And he’d spend some time confessing his sins.

“And I’d head off to Cardinal (George) Pell to have him hear my confession,’’ he said.
