A voice from past is no help to the Liberal’s future

Channelling Tony Abbott would be akin to tuning into Australia’s first radio transmission in 1923 that played “light orchestral” music to several hundred listeners fortunate enough to own crystal sets (“Taylor channels Abbott in vow to take on Albanese over tax reform”, May 30). If Abbott were to reflect upon the broken promises mirror on the Liberal wall of integrity he would find it well and truly shattered. Steve Dillon, Thirroul

Poor diddums, “Tantrum Toddler” Taylor. Albo won’t get out of the sandpit to let him play with his coal trucks. And to make matters worse, we have the ultimate sandpit bully, Tony Abbott, trying to get back in too. John Swanton, Coogee

Does Tony Abbott really believe that only Liberal voters truly love Australia? Does he really think that wearing little Australian flag lapel pins and saying “Make Australia Great Again”, or giving every press conference in front of a dozen Australian flags, will bring back the Liberals’ glory days? The people have already revolted, Tony. Sick of not having their concerns listened to, the voters of the safest Liberal seat, Warringah, revolted and threw you out. The Community Independent movement also removed many other Liberals who could not provide the representation that their electorates demanded. We now have independent MPs who listen to their electorates and provide positive representation that the Liberals could never provide. As long as the Libs continue to fight against the science of climate change, and refuse to accept that the cleanest and cheapest form of energy is renewables, they will face a people’s revolt. As long as they offer negativity and divisiveness, and keep weaponising their climate and culture wars, the voters will revolt against them. Alan Marel, North Curl Curl

If the Liberals want to lift their game and march into the next decade with a win over Labor they have gone backwards by electing Tony Abbott as their president. He looks and walks like someone’s grandfather trying to make an impression at his grandkid’s 18th- birthday party and sounds about as relevant. Sorry, guys, but even the tired old Pauline and her toadies seem more relevant. Albo must be feeling so happy. Alan Rosendale, Leichhardt

Tony Abbott wants to be rid of the “worst government in living memory”. He must have forgotten his own and Scott Morrison’s. And even I remember McMahon’s. John Burman, Port Macquarie

With Tony and Angus, the Liberals now have two right-wingers and no left wings. So like the legendary “Oozlum Bird” it will spin in ever diminishing circles, eventually disappearing like a
