Former PM Tony Abbott consider a return to parliament in his first extensive interview since he lost his Sydney seat of Warringah at the May federal election.


Mr Abbott has blame Malcolm Turnbull’s ambition – rather than a divided government – for his own loss of leadership.

“It wasn’t that we had a divided government, it was more that there was one person who was determined to get to the top by hook or by crook,” Mr Abbott told  The Australian in an interview. 

“Malcolm always thought it was his destiny to be prime minister and I happened to be the obstacle to that and so he dealt with me as best he could”, he said.

Former PM denied the charge that he was a “wrecker” when Mr Turnbull was prime minister.
