‘Stop the boats’: Tony Abbott urges the UK to reduce illegal immigration

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott made an appearance at the Conservative Party conference in the UK, where he spoke about his government’s success in stopping illegal boat arrivals. As reported by News Corp correspondent and Sky News contributor Sophie Elsworth, Abbott addressed the crowd by reflecting on his “stop the boats” policy, which became a defining part of his time in office.

Elsworth noted that Abbott’s comments drew a clear comparison with the current situation in Britain, pointing out that the UK Labour government has struggled to halt the flow of illegal migrants. His remarks were seen as both advice and a subtle challenge, suggesting that the firm measures once used in Australia could offer lessons for the UK’s ongoing immigration debate.
