In a speech to the CPAC conservative political conference in Sydney, Abbott called on the Liberal party to be the “patriot party”. It came shortly after a panel, featuring the former Liberal candidate Katherine Deves, described some of the current Coalition as “bed wetters”.

Entering to a standing ovation and cheers – one woman yelling “we love you Tony” – Abbott delivered the main keynote speech of the conference’s first day. In a wide-ranging address, Abbott described Labor’s proposed anti-corruption commission as a “star chamber”, opposed the Indigenous voice to parliament, and claimed Australia becoming a republic would be cultural “vandalism”.

In a preceding panel with the former Liberal senator Amanda Stoker, Abbott claimed the voice to parliament would “institutionalise discrimination”.

The former PM joked that he was a “staunch monarchist and climate sceptic”. He spoke several times of the Covid pandemic, describing government interventions as “virus hysteria” based on a “neurotic fear of death” and “treating normal life as a health hazard”.

Abbott said lockdowns had put people “under virtual house arrest”. He said Australia’s response had made the country a “prison island”. Abbott also criticised the “climate cult” and said he didn’t understand “gender fluidity”.

Deves, who failed in a bid to win back Abbott’s former seat of Warringah at the May election, joined a panel earlier in the day – a live episode of the Sky News Outsiders talk program featuring the conservative media personalities Rowan Dean, Rita Panahi and James Morrow.

Deves, who attracted huge controversy for her opposition to transgender women participating in female sports, alleged she’d been silenced by the Liberal party and the media during the election. Dean claimed if Deves had been able to talk publicly, the Coalition would have won the election.

Deves recorded a worse primary vote in 2022 than Abbott did in 2019, as Zali Steggall increased her margin.

The Sky News hosts claimed many in the Liberal party were “bed wetters”, criticising the support expressed for the voice to parliament by shadow Indigenous affairs minister, Julian Leeser.

The Coalition senator Jacinta Price has described the government’s proposed Indigenous voice to parliament as “racial separatism”, and said criticism of those opposed to the proposed constitutional change was “inhumane”.

Speaking at the CPAC conservative political conference in Sydney, Price – the Northern Territory senator and Warlpiri woman – was critical of the Labor plan to institute the voice. In a keynote address to begin the two-day event, Price said she planned to use her time in politics to work against the “sycophantic, spineless Labor government”.

“I would like to pay my respects – to every proud Australian in the room today,” Price said at the beginning of her speech, shortly after a traditional Indigenous welcome to country from a group of performers.

Price, an opponent of the voice proposal, claimed the idea was “racial separatism”. She claimed she had suggested to the government Senate leader and foreign minister, Penny Wong, that Labor institute an “Asian voice to parliament”, which drew laughs from the audience.
