Abbott joins international speakers circuit - WTF?

Good grief. Are there actually people in this world that would pay to hear the fuckwit of fuckwits speak? I can't imagine. The idiot says things about three times in a row because his brain can't keep up with his mouth, and what he does eventually say is just a huge pile of bullshit. Us poor people in Australia had to endure 2 years of his lame assed sloganeering constantly barraging our ears with stupidity. The idea that someone would actually pay to hear this village idiot is beyond comprehension.

Yet it appears there are people of equal stupidity who will. Or perhaps they view it as a comedy act?

The former prime minister has officially joined the lucrative international speakers circuit and could soon be charging audiences more than $US40,000 for his insights.

Speaker agency Washington Speakers Bureau has announced they are representing Mr Abbott, who was dumped as Liberal Party leader in a bruising leadership spill in September. Mr Abbott's tenure as prime minister ended just short of two years.

The Washington Speakers Bureau says Mr Abbott boasts a "profound depth of experience" and is "keenly positioned to offer unparalleled insight on leadership, the global economy [and] global trade." "Geography alone renders Australia vulnerable to terror, and thus Abbott is able to speak thoughtfully on terrorism and security in the 21st century, including the threat of ISIS and pervasive religious fundamentalism," Mr Abbott's biography notes.

He can also offer a "Western perspective on the future of Asia, explore the short and long-term future of China, and provide a unique and timely political outlook for your audience", according to the website.

Mr Abbott's preferred topics include advice on leadership, negotiation, election forecast and analysis, current events and Asia.

An online form invites anyone interested in hearing from Mr Abbott to nominate payment ranging from "travel and expenses only" to "over $40,000". canberratimes

Australian geography makes us vulnerable to terror? WTF? We're at the ass end of the fuckin world. The worst time zone, isolated as hell. People come here to escape the terror in the northern hemisphere, or flee persecution FFS.
