North Bondi Primary School stood still this afternoon, as former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and his former Lord Mayor of Sydney Lucy Turnbull climbed out of an unmarked Range Rover to take part in the democratic process.
Turnbull, the most recently ousted Prime Minister to have previously defeated Bill Shorten at the polls did not appear to be wearing any Liberal Party paraphernalia such as t-shirts, pins or headwear.
After giving his Liberal Party predecessor Dave Sharma a wide berth at the front gate, the Easter Suburbs power couple headed straight to the ballot.
AEC staff describe their affluent giggles as ‘chilling’ before both Malcolm and Lucy filled in their ballot paper with what appeared to be a clear protest vote.
“Well I spent the last five years publicly berating Bill Shorten, so I’m not voting for Labor” laughed Turnbull.
“That would be a pointless vote in this electorate anyway. Look at these people”
Turnbull then gestured to his fellow Wentworth constituents.
“Do any of them look like they give a fuck about workers rights or free health care [hahaha]”
Lucy Turnbull agreed.
“I mean the ship Malcolm jumped out of was burning to the hull and full of explosives” she said.
“But Shorten [hahahaha]”
Mr Turnbull then went on to insinuate that the couple were effectively voting against both major parties.
“I think it’s time to make Australia great…” said Malcolm Turnbull.
“Hint hint!”
Lucy Turnbull joined in on the jokes.
“Or fat [hahahaha]”
At time of press, both Turnbulls were seen in the backseat of their private car, driving back up the Bondi bottle-neck for a late lunch with the Paspaley family at the Woolloomooloo wharves.
