Summary/Abstract |
TONY ABBOTT LIKES TO TELL THE STORY about his first visit to the United States as a newly elected member of the Australian Parliament. It was 1995, and he was widely seen as a rising star in the center-right Liberal Party, where the word "liberal" still means more or less what it meant in the nineteenth century. He had also distinguished himself as a leading opponent of the Labor government's ill-fated proposal to replace Australia's constitutional monarchy with a republic.
