He has been a bit quiet since the Federal Election, but former Health Minister Tony Abbott is back at doing what he does best - grabbing headlines with his take-no-prisoners approach.

I hit on this article when my colleague Grant Smith started laughing and said: "Lisa, you have got to check the SMH homepage."

I asked him: "What is it? Tony's not naked is he?"

"Better he is saying that John Howard did more for indigenous people than any other Prime Minister," Grant said.

The news that Tony had hit the headlines made me burst into song, much to Grant's disgust.

This is gold. Welcome back Tony. I have missed you.
