Statement From Federal President, Hon. Tony Abbott AC

Liberal Party of Australia

The Liberal Party of Australia's Federal Executive has today resolved to appoint Mr Lincoln Folo as the next Federal Director of the Liberal Party of Australia.

Australia is drifting backwards and our party is under challenge. Hence the need to rebuild trust with the Australian people, with a strong federal secretariat working intimately with the federal leadership and the state divisions.

Lincoln brings extensive experience in political campaigning, organisational leadership and party administration. He has earned a strong reputation as a capable and effective operator, committed to the values and principles that have long underpinned our Party.

The role of Federal Director is one of the most important positions within our Party. The Federal Director is responsible for ensuring that our organisation is strong, united and ready to support our parliamentary team as we hold the Albanese Government to account and present a credible alternative government to the Australian people.

On behalf of the Federal Executive, I congratulate Lincoln on his appointment and look forward to working closely with him as we continue the task of renewing and strengthening our Party country and I thank all those who participated in the selection process.

I also take this chance to thank Andrew Hirst for his sterling service to the Party and the country over the past nine years and acknowledge the dedication and service of those who have contributed to the Party during this transition period.

The Liberal Party has been through challenging times before, and will come through these too, with strong leadership, clear principles and a renewed sense of purpose.
