Tony Abbott buys second-hand fridge
It seems times are tough for our former Prime Minster Tony Abbott, who has been surfing Gumtree for a second-hand bargain.
Mr Abbott and his wife Margie bought a $300 Daewoo fridge from student Emily Hastings and the former PM was only too happy to pose for a pic.
With an annual member’s salary of around $200,000, as well as any other income he receives, Mr Abbott may no be short of a dollar, but it’s good to see he’s as frugal as the rest of us.
Do you think Mr Abbot was really interested in a second-hand fridge or is the opportunity to prove he’s just an average bloke priceless?
If Margie Abbott (who actually was the one who purchased it so I believe) wanted to buy a second hand frig for use over the Xmas season good on her for not forking out full price.
I would have done the same if I needed the extra space over the Xmas season. I also understand he has quite a big mortgage to pay off.
How it got into the media I do not know but suspect the seller posted it on Facebook or something similar and away it went. was happy to see Tony Abbott removed as PM but to keep on hounding the man is beyond the pale.
Is this the new Aussie way; kick a man when he is down??
