BRITISH Prime Minister David Cameron says it will be "great working with another centre right leader" after calling Tony Abbott to congratulate him on his victory in the Australian federal election.
A convincing victory for the Liberal-National coalition on Saturday ended six years of Labor rule after a campaign in which Abbott pledged to boost a flagging economy and axe a controversial carbon tax.
But he has also said his government's deficit-reduction measures would include cutting overseas aid - a policy that will put him at odds with Cameron's stance on development.
Tory MP Douglas Carswell seized on Abbott's victory to urge Cameron to adopt similar policies.
"I'm loving the way that the centre right in Australia have modernised - and won. Ought to inspire Conservatives here in UK!" he wrote on Twitter.
"Abbott won offering lower taxes, less immigration, an end to obsession with CO2 and less foreign aid. Go figure.
"Abbott's views are throughly modern. He seems to have seen through global warming fad, wants less government and is pro Anglosphere."
There were some less complimentary assessments from Labour MPs.
Paul Flynn posted: "Oz has elected a bigoted air-head to drag them backwards into mean prejudice and vainglorious chauvinism."
And Tom Harris said: "I'm sure that in terms of attitudes to women, new Australian PM Tony Abbott will bring his country roaring into the 1980s."
