Series of panels where Tony Abbott is in a shipping box at the 'Brexit Trade Department Offices' in the UK. He responds to word prompts from three different people.

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott is no stranger to controversy. Hot on the heels of his statements about the costs of preventing COVID-related deaths, he made headlines for his new role as trade adviser to the British government. Abbott was enlisted to help Britain in its post-Brexit deals (including a possible trade deal with Australia). Some parliamentarians argued that this represented a conflict of interest and suggested he should register as a ‘foreign agent’.
