Charlie Lewis writes about politics for Crikey.

He’s been a close observer of Tony Abbott – from his time as a Liberal Party bomb thrower, to his face-offs with Julia Gillard, to his short ‘Prince Philip-themed’ time as prime minister.

Now, Charlie’s tracking Abbott’s political afterlife: which brings him to Sydney’s affluent Northern Beaches, and the launch of the former prime minister’s new book: Australia – A History.

The book is seen by many as Abbott’s attempt to counter a “black armband” view of our country’s history – and give a more celebratory take. It’s part of a broader effort by Abbott to continue shaping Australia, which he does through his connections in some parts of the media and his behind-the-scenes manoeuverings within the Liberal Party.
