Tony Abbott Slams Labour's Chagos Policy

Former Australian PM Tony Abbott condemns UK's Chagos Islands concessions to Mauritius, calling them "absurd." He questions why the UK would pay for territory they already control, citing Britain's historical claim. Abbott criticizes international court rulings, labeling them "courts of politics," and urges Britain to stand firm. This comes amid accusations of money laundering against former Mauritius PM and concerns over costs of the deal. Critics warn about financial burdens as US officials express national security concerns over the military base on Diego Garcia.
