Wow. Now that’s a leader.
Dropping Putin for Abbott. Now he just needs to ride a horse without a shirt on, do Taikwando and wrestle crocs.
He could box a ‘roo ...
He doesn't quite go to the extent of Putin, but he is an athlete, who has nothing to be ashamed of in the chest and muscles department:
Note - what he is wearing in the picture is the traditional competition clothing of a surf lifesaver - yes, it's revealing (and the Australian press loves using this image in caricatures of him) but it's about practicality in swimming as fast as possible to rescue drowning people, and over the years it's also evolved into a widespread series of sporting activities.
He's also - still, even as Prime Minister - an active volunteer firefighter who still turns out to protect his community from bushfires when he can fit it around his official duties.
He generally tries to avoid being photographed while firefighting, but there are a few good ones around.
He really is a good man.
