Tony Abbott elected New Liberal Leader
Tony Abbott has been elected as the Leader of the Opposition.
In a press conference following his election as Leader, Mr Abbott said:
"The job of the Opposition is to be an alternative, not an echo, to provide a choice, not a copy.
"This is going to be very tough. But I can promise a contest. It will be a good contest, it will be a clean contest, and I know my colleagues are gearing up for the fight of their lives."
A former Rhodes Scholar, Tony Abbott was first elected to Parliament as the Member for Warringah in 1994. He served as a Minister across several portfolios in the Howard Government, including as Minister for Health and Ageing. Before his election to the Liberal leadership he served as the Shadow Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
Tony is married to Margaret and has three daughters.

In this Resource Guide, there are sections about career development, further education and training options, financial assistance available to young people as well as useful contact details for more detailed information.
