On the other hand, the former prime minister in question is more famous for being on the receiving end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SOPsxpMzYw4\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">anti-misogyny speeches<\/a> than negotiating complicated trade pacts.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nIn his two years as prime minister, he managed to seal long-running trade pacts with China, South Korea and Japan.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So who is Tony Abbott, and is his appointment to the trade board (which No. 10 Downing Street has yet to formally confirm) likely to pay off for a post-Brexit Britain? Here are five things you should know.<\/p>\n<p>(Disclaimer: The author was a member of the Anyone But Abbott campaign group seeking to find a candidate to replace Abbott as the member of parliament for Warringah in the 2013 Australian election.)<\/p>\n<h3>1. Colorful background \u2014 and British ties<\/h3>\n<p>Born in 1957 in London to an Australian mother and a British father, Abbotts family moved to Sydney when he was 2. Abbott graduated with degrees in economics and law from the University of Sydney, before returning to the U.K. to study politics and philosophy at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship. He was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/politics\/federal\/tony-abbotts-oxford-transcript-released-20131125-2y6a1.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">middling student<\/a> but a top boxer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quarterlyessay.com.au\/correspondence\/correspondence-george-brandis\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">right-wing organizer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After uni, Abbott headed back to Sydney to train as a priest, before quitting the seminary to become a journalist. In 1994, he was elected to the Australian federal parliament as the conservative Liberal Party member for Sydneys beachside seat of Warringah and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/politics\/federal\/narrow-path-of-a-real-mans-man-20110930-1wqta.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">vowed<\/a> to be a \u201cjunkyard dog savaging the other side.\u201d He held the seat for a quarter of a century, before losing it to independent Zali Steggall at the 2019 election.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way Abbott has been an Ironman triathlete and a surf lifesaver \u2026 a volunteer firefighter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-7827029\/Tony-Abbott-blew-cabinet-meetings-fight-fires-told-John-Howard-busy.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly blew off<\/a> Cabinet meetings to put out blazes \u2026 a minister for health <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/lifestyle\/health\/health-problems\/abbotts-uturn-on-vaccines\/news-story\/71dd523b5c78349fb1b2cc6eb2e0a102\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">who said<\/a> he \u201cwouldnt be rushing out\u201d to get his daughters vaccinated against cervical cancer \u2026 he found a long-lost son, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/national\/abbotts-love-child-turns-into-shaggy-dog-story-20050322-gdkz77.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lost him again<\/a> \u2026 ate a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F_UJ9_Qhekc\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">raw onion<\/a> \u2026 smoked marijuana (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/national\/abbott-i-tried-marijuana-but-didnt-inhale-20040725-gdjf1e.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">didnt inhale<\/a>) \u2026 became prime minister in 2013, named himself minister for women, repealed the carbon price, then said repealing the carbon price was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/federal-politics\/political-news\/tony-abbott-names-carbon-tax-repeal-as-his-top-achievement-as-minister-for-women-20141222-12bw42.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his top achievement as minister for women<\/a> \u2026 reintroduced knighthoods to Australia, then gave one to Prince Philip \u2026 lost the prime ministership in 2015 in a party-room coup \u2026 then waged a years-long revenge campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Fair-weather Brexiteer<\/h3>\n<p>Given the celebrations in Britains Euroskeptic corners at the news of Abbotts impending appointment, youd think he had Brexit running through his veins.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, he backed Remain ahead of the U.K.s EU referendum.<\/p>\n<p>In a Times column published in April 2016, <a href=\"https:\/\/tonyabbott.com.au\/2016\/04\/britain-must-stay-and-save-europe-not-abandon-it\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he wrote<\/a>: \u201cBritains challenge now is to save Europe, not leave it.\u201d Yet just a few months later Abbott <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/politics\/federal\/im-quietly-thrilled-tony-abbott-backflips-on-brexit-opposition-20161004-gru9ro.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">claimed<\/a> he was \u201cquietly thrilled that the British people have resolved to claim back their country.\u201d It was then just a hop, skip and <a href=\"http:\/\/tonyabbott.com.au\/2017\/09\/true-conservatism-pragmatism-based-values\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pragmatic<\/a> jump to supporting a no-deal Brexit \u2014 which Abbott advocated for in Tory bible the Spectator in a March 2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spectator.co.uk\/article\/no-deal-no-problem\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">column titled \u201cNo deal?

He fights bushfires but reckons climate change might even be beneficial<\/h3>\n<p>Abbott is a long-time volunteer for the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.
