Did you notice that I left the e off his name in the last post I still don't believe that you can hang around a political forum for so many years and not know what a hawk is, in this context.

Bill Shorten calls on Malcolm Turnbull to rein in MPs after Tony Abbott speech on South China Sea

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has called on Malcolm Turnbull to "do something about his backbench", saying Tony Abbott is acting like both the prime minister and foreign minister.

The former prime minister delivered a speech in Japan overnight, in which he argued for more freedom of navigation military exercises in the contested South China Sea, and said China and Australia did not share the same values.

Mr Shorten said Mr Abbott giving speeches on foreign policy was a "recipe for chaos".

"When you see the former prime minister taking a very different priority to Mr Turnbull on foreign policy — this is a divided Government, and a divided Government is not good for Australia, is not good for Australian jobs, is not good for Australia's position in the world," he said.

"Malcolm Turnbull needs to do something about his backbench. I've got some respect for the fact that Tony Abbot was prime minister, so he should be given a little bit more rope than some of the more right-wing characters.

"What I don't understand is why Malcolm Turnbull has got senior members of his own Government out there giving their own speeches on foreign policy."

Selective reading on your part ... totally ignore Abbott's warmongering in the article.

any war. Abbott provoking in the middle east,

..now against China.

Same old, same old tactic from you. Go off tangent and then bark at the moon ... post after post, after post, after post, after post, after post ...

Abbott is a hawk, as are most who support him.

..i find that a disturbing thought!

Yes, Death, but we need to sympathise with Mr Abbott. It can't be easy for him after being the big boss. Who else would he have to talk to about these things? No wonder he wants to go Singapore and give speeches. No one else will listen.

I fully understand why Mr Abbott would want to start a war. He must feel very lonely. If this happens, we need to forgive him and pray for our boys to be home by Christmas.

Live and let live, eh?
