'That's leader behaviour': Former PM spotted taking on a surprising job
Drivers in a busy Sydney car park were surprised to find an unusual guide for exiting traffic - former prime minister Tony Abbott.
Mr Abbott was filmed holding the boom gate of an underground car park open with one hand as he waved cars through with the other.
The Pitt Street car park was reportedly battling congestion when the former PM decided to assist.
It is unclear when the footage was filmed, but since was shared to the Instagram account Humans of Eastwood Daily, it quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments.
"From budgie smuggler to car smuggler, a man of many talents," one person replied.
Another said she was impressed, "that's leader behaviour".
"He was always a worker. Bushfire CFA volunteer, surf lifesaver, he did a lot more civil service than most pollies," said another.
Mr Abbott is well known for jumping in at times of crisis, in a personal capacity, including volunteering with the NSW Rural Fire Service. During the Black Summer bushfires he was seen working to save homes.
Despite the good deed, others could not look past the 28th prime minister's other endeavours. "Remember the time he ate an onion," one quipped.
Another said it was the "best thing Tony Abbott's done".
