The Attorney-General's Department disclosed correspondence regarding former Prime Minister Tony Abbott's obligations under the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme between November 2023 and February 2024. Abbott notified the Transparency Frameworks Section of his appointment as a visiting fellow at the Danube Institute, a Hungarian think-tank he acknowledged receives government funding.
