Tony Abbott
Tony Abbott served as Australia’s 28th prime minister and was the member for Warringah in the Australian parliament between 1994 and 2019. As the local MP, he was instrumental in the creation of the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust to preserve the natural and built heritage of his electorate and elsewhere. He is a Rhodes Scholar and the author of three other books: The Minimal Monarchy, How to Win the Constitutional War and Battlelines. From 1998 to 2018, he convened the Pollie Pedal annual charity bike ride, which has supported organisations including Soldier On, Carers Australia and Wandering Warriors. He surfs near Queenscliff and volunteers with the Davidson Rural Fire Brigade. He is married to Margaret, and they have three daughters: Louise, Frances and Bridget.
