CANBERRA : There are growing reports here that former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has fallen on tough times since he lost his seat of Warringah at the last election . According to award winning political reporter , Argus Tuft , Abbott , who became a cartoon character because he got about his electorate in a pair of sagging budgie smugglers , will soon become a celebrity topless waiter in a North Queensland wine bar named Smugglers , its emblem a Tory coloured budgerigar.
The bar is under construction at Nelly Bay, Magnetic Island, described as Townsville's Jewel in the Crown . Due to a touch of the sun because he was such a beach bum , Prime Minister Abbott once knighted the Queen's escort, so an island with a part royal name would appeal . Flexing his hairy torso in a wine bar might cause many drinkers to sign the Salvation Army pledge. A message attached to the above sign says the Budgies are slowly smuggling in supplies in readiness for a right royal opening
