A new trailer has landed for “Australia: A History”, the upcoming three-part documentary series fronted by former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, set to air on Sky News Australia next week. The series promises to chart the nation’s journey from its ancient Indigenous beginnings to its status as a modern democracy—through the eyes of one of its most divisive former leaders.
The former PM's perspective
Scheduled to premiere over three consecutive nights from Monday, October 13, at 7.30pm AEDT, the series positions Abbott not just as presenter but as interpreter and guide, bringing a “deeply personal” view to the key events that shaped the country. The timing is notable: in a year marked by national debates over identity and history, a series led by a former Prime Minister is bound to attract attention—and, no doubt, contention.
