By all reports including this one prime minister of australia tony abbott has done the country proud on his overseas trip.
what a team abbott has put together.
just need turnbull to lift his game.

Yee-ha! They do things big in Texas. Big hats, big oil, and big welcomes. Prime Minister Tony Abbott received the warmest welcome of his entire US trip in the Lone Star State on Friday. At the end of a brief speech in which he praised America's biggest export state and promised coal had a future spanning many decades, the prime minister was given a Stetson hat. Having spent many childhood hours watching his hero John Wayne tame the Wild West, he couldn't resist a loud 'yee-ha!'. The Corral Cowboy-model Stetson looked huge on his head, but it didn't matter - he was in his element. Resources chiefs from some of the world's biggest companies lined up to praise the Liberal Party leader, who is just weeks away from taking Labor's carbon tax off their backs.

I heard Tony is now an honorary Texan.

Don't come back, Tony, stay there, seeing they like you so much.
