When Tony Abbott arrives home from India and Malaysia the weekend after next, he will have matched a record set by Kevin Rudd : the most trips abroad by a prime minister in their first 12 months in office.
Mr Abbott, who this time last year was among those in the Coalition criticising Mr Rudd over his penchant for travel, will have made 11 trips overseas by the time of the September 7 anniversary of the election of his government.
