Reference :- Tony Abbott was asked to register under the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme . Andy Bolt spluttered with disbelief .

Reference :-    Poor old Tony Abbott has never quite shaken off the fact that he was born in Old Blighty , and  didn't relinquish his UK citizenship until 1993.  But does that mean he has ever tried to influence our country for the benefit of the perfidious albion of his birth ?

 Gosh Andy , Tony has been hanging around the political school room for some time now, and possibly he has inadvertently besmudged his copybook... occasionally .  So what might the Attorney General's office have stumbled across , that has raised some eyebrows ?  

  Those rallies he organised in support of the Queen's representative sacking our democratically elected government back in 1975 are a bit of a worry .  They give the impression that he invited  another country to sack our Prime Minister , which is precisely what happened .  But that was long ago , and Tony is no longer the hot-headed activist of his youth , so it can't be that .  Perhaps he made a mistake when , without first so much as a whisper to his own cabinet , he set about bestowing a knighthood on Prince Phillip.  Maybe  that counts as influencing our country for the benefit of a foreigner  ?
More recently he has been offering his services in promotional material aimed at raising funds from other countries to support Brexit , via the "World 4 Brexit " campaign .  He clearly loves his homeland , and the monarchy .  But does world wide fund raising for political reasons in his country of birth mean there is a risk of foreign influence upon our shores ?
 It's all a bit murky , so perhaps being on a transparency register isn't such a crook idea.
 It's not as though anybody is wanting to throw him in the slammer or something .
 And his bucking against a new law , with all the dozens of new ones introduced of late to keep the
great unwashed in their place , is a bad look .   

 Your comrade , Ken
