He doesn’t look that bad in speedo’s, does he? I’d be happy if I looked that good in them.

Alicia says:

12:36pm | 01/12/09

Keep those boardies for Kevin, I think Tony looks fine in speedo’s.

stephen says:

12:37pm | 01/12/09

Keep the speedos sir. You’ll need all the help you can get.

BC says:

12:52pm | 01/12/09

Amusing.

However on a more serious note - the photo at the beach emphasises again that Abbott is real - volunteer lifesaver, volunteer fireman…....AUTHENTIC - name three senior labor pollies who are that ? hmmmmm maybe Gillard to her left wing communist roots.

Matt says:

12:53pm | 01/12/09

This is what we get from the media about a politician, what he wore? - Past tense.

Let’s get on with it people, stick with the policy and debate.

Margaret Gray says:

12:58pm | 01/12/09

I’d rather see Tony Abbott in Speedo’s than Joe Hockey or MalcolmTurnbull.

Anna says:

01:02pm | 01/12/09

If it was as a photo of Kevin Rudd in speedo’s sure pass him the boardies, but Tony wears them well. Certainly looks like he’s equiped to take on Rudd.

Joe Stephens says:

01:43pm | 01/12/09

As long as it’s not Made in China.. otherwise Tony Abbott will be painted in the media as a Communist Puppet.. or a typical Australian consumer.

In all fairness, this is probably the most interesting story about Tony Abbott… it’s going to be a shame when winter comes along and we have to put up with debates about his uninteresting “whatever Labour does, we don’t” policies.

Bruce says:

04:03pm | 01/12/09

Maybe Tony Abbott could challenge Kevin Rudd to a swimming or bike racing competition ? Kevin in slugo’s ?

stephen says:

04:38pm | 01/12/09

...thats cause Feminists are wonderin’ whats in his shorts.

ShaneO says:

11:05pm | 01/12/09

He’s a volunteer lifesaver; that’s what they wear as part of their uniform.

GET OVER IT!

He doesn’t wear them as a fashion statement!

Tony looks like a fair dinkum bronze anzac in his budgie smugglers, just don’tlet that Creepy krudd chuck sand in your face, question time is going to be better viewing than the the days of our lives , the old and the useless , and the bold and the beautiful . I can’t wait for chapter one , KRUDD VERSUS THE MAD MONK GO MR ABBOTT.

All the crap about him wearing speedos when, as a serving member of Queenscliffe surf club, he was doing a club swim - obviously no reporter has ever been a member of a surf club. Try swimming in board shorts and then comment.
This is how you, the media, start the process of bringing a new leader down.

Richard says:

09:31am | 02/12/09

He was required to wear speedos.  He didn’t have an option. 

Go down to the beach on a weekend and you will see much worse from people who really shouldn’t EVER wear speedos.  They are teh ones who need the boardshorts.

Jane says:

11:44am | 02/12/09

Get a grip…he’s a life saver…it’s what they wear….and for good reason. Are you gonna ridicule or buy boardshorts for all other life savers too and make a spectacle of them and belittle them here as well? Kudos for him for volunteering and risking his life to save others..What do you do?

The Australian ‘media’ is a manipulative disgrace..

Diana stevens says:

01:13pm | 03/12/09

Lucy Kippist…your story is so pathetic….why dont you do a story about all the volunteer work old Kevin Rudd does??......We all know why, because he does none!.....Speedos are part of the uniform of lifesavers…..At least Tony Abbot is getting out there helping 2 good causes, lifesavers and volunteer fire man….. If your article here was suppose to get a laugh from everybody Lucy, im afraid your mistaken!!

Since when did Punch become so much of a bore? It’s 2009, not 1909. He’s volunteering at the beach as a lifesaver for goodness sake. Do you really think he should be wearing baggy shorts that would slow him down in the surf? I like that he’s not embarrassed about how he’s going to look and is more interested in helping out at his local surf club.

Get over it, Its a uniform, Imagine if all surf life savers wore different shorts, how would anybody recognise them in time of need. Would we be better served if all nurses, police officers, firemen wore civies.

It may have worked on Peter Debnam, but the “buddgie smugglers” bit is getting a little old
