Tony Abbott is an Australian politician who enjoys nothing more than strutting about in front of the media and large groups of people, wearing only budgy smugglers. "Budgy smugglers" are what Australians call Speedos, primarily because it looks like the wearer is smuggling a couple of budgies (budgerigars) down the front of his Speedos, especially when he walks or runs and the "budgies" writhe and bounce about. Now, you may very well argue that's not such a bad look. And it is a good look, if you're young and athletic, with a physique worth admiring. Alas, however, not when one is a rightist, conservative politician, like Tony Abbott, with decidedly bigoted, sexist, homophobic views. In the case of Tony Abbott, I'm strongly in favour of the reintroduction of Edwardian, neck-to-knee bathing attire. Cover it up, Tony! It's sometimes better to retain an air of mystery.
