The Board of Trade has traditionally been made up of Westminster politicians and business leaders, with a mission to "champion exports and inward and outward investment to deliver economic growth and prosperity" but Mr Abbott, who was born in Britain and led Australia from 2013 until 2015, has reportedly been asked by Mr Johnson to join the group.Downing Street or the Department for International Trade have yet to confirm the news, but he was reportedly appointed by UK Trade Secretary Liz Truss, with the pair meeting for breakfast in London on Tuesday to confirm his new role.But the appointment has sparked fury among Australian politicians, who claim it could provide the UK with a huge boost in trade negotiations with the country.Mr Abbott's successor in the federal seat of Warringah, independent MP Zali Steggall said: "Like many Australians, I’m surprised at his appointment in light of his previous changing positions on Brexit and his very divisive and combative style.
"In the UK, Labour's Shadow International Trade Secretary Emily Thornberry told Politico: “I just find this appointment absolutely staggering.“On a personal level, I am disgusted that Boris Johnson thinks this offensive, leering, cantankerous, climate change-denying, Trump-worshipping misogynist is the right person to represent our country overseas.

"Greens leader Adam Bandt called for Mr Abbott to be stripped of his parliamentary pension, worth $300,000 a year.He said: "Tony Abbott’s job is now to promote another country, even if it means disadvantaging Australian farmers, producers and exporters. as well as other partner offers and accept our I suspect Boris wants us him to go out there and talk about how great Brexit is.” Abbott, who was born in South London, was ousted as Australian prime minister in 2015 after losing a leadership challenge to his fellow Liberal Party parliamentarian Malcolm Turnbull.
"What would the reaction be if a former prime minister like Kevin Rudd was appointed in a trade advocacy role for China? British Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared that a trade deal between the UK and Australia would bring "wonderful" Tim Tam biscuits to Britons at a "reasonable price". "And on a professional level, this is someone whose only experience of trade agreements was turning up to sign the treaties Andrew Boff negotiated for him. A former senior colleague of Abbott in the Australian Parliament said the appointment “is being viewed with bemusement” in Australia given what is widely seen as a lack of credentials to advise on trade. "He's a very much a political person. marked the start of free-trade negotiations with Australia … “Abbott is not a commercial guy, at all,” the person told Business Insider. He is a popular figure within UK Conservative circles and has spoken with packed rooms of party members at Conservative party conferences.

"I would also question the appropriateness of a former Australian prime minister in a senior trade role now negotiating for the benefit of another nation. "Mr Abbott was ousted as Prime Minister by his colleague Malcolm Turnbull following a snap party poll in 2015, and was then forced out of the federal parliament last year when he lost his Sydney seat of Warringah in the federal election.Prior to the EU referendum in 2016, Mr Abbott urged the British public to vote Remain, and wrote in The Times: “Any British decision to withdraw from the European Union would have seismic consequences.“There’s much to dislike about the EU but very little that would be improved if Britain left.”But shortly after the historic vote, Mr Abbott made an astonishing u-turn in becoming an enthusiastic supporter of Brexit, admitting he was “quietly thrilled” with the result.Last year, he wrote a piece for The Spectator in which he said: “As a former Prime Minister of a country that has a perfectly satisfactory ‘no deal’ relationship with the EU, let me assure you: no deal would be no problem.“A no-deal relationship with the EU has not stopped Australia doing about $70billion worth of trade with the EU in goods and services.”But economists lashed out at Mr Abbott and claimed his comparison ignored how the EU common market worked, as well as complex supply chains in manufacturing industries such as car making and aerospace. Economists, however, have lambasted Abbott for downplaying the economic risk on of a no-deal Brexit to the UK. Multiple reports indicate that Abbott, a friend of Boris Johnson's Conservatives, will join the UK Board of Trade. Ontdek hoe.
