A former Howard government minister has warned Tony Abbott risks trashing his own legacy if he doesn't stick his head down and behave himself.
Tony Abbott is likely to haunt Malcolm Turnbull during an election campaign, so you might as well give him a role, former Liberal leader John Hewson says.
The former prime minister quickly made his presence felt when Mr Turnbull indicated that a double dissolution election was likely on July 2 last week, saying the government would be campaigning on policies that were introduced under his leadership.
"He won't go away, so I think you give him a role. Define the role very carefully and encourage him to be judged by his performance," Dr Hewson told Sky News on Sunday.
