Communications Minister sends a Message to Bronny

Malcolm 'let me help' Turnbull is the Minister in charge of destroying the National Broadband Network - actually, 'demolishing' was the word his boss used when instructing him on his duties.  So far Malcolm is doing a great job.  So much so that when he recently needed to talk to a group of people in Geelong, he was unable to conduct a video conference, due to the amazingly slow broadband connection.  "Job well done, Malcolm," he said to himself.  And being unaware that phones can be used for talking, not just tweeting and taking pictures, he decided that he'd have to go to Geelong to talk to the group in person.

Malcolm, always thinking of others, saw this as a great opportunity to help his Liberal colleague, Bronwyn Bishop, avoid any future travel expense debacles - you will recall that she recently got into a bit of bother when she made the same 80km trip from Melbourne to Geelong by chartering a helicopter which only cost the taxpayers $5227.  Malcolm, on the other hand, decided to go to Geelong via public transport.  He happily rode a few trams around Melbourne, then jauntily hopped aboard a train, having paid the fare of $8.26 from his very own overstuffed pocket.
 

Just to let Bronny know how easy it all was, he sent numerous tweets during the journey, saying how much fun it was, and so simple and affordable, anybody could do it, and it's quicker than driving, and you actually get to meet real people on public transport!  He even remembered to tell her which tram to take to get to the train station.  What a tremendously thoughtful chap he is.

And because he is ever so kind and helpful, he made sure to have his photo taken beside a train, just in case Bronny isn't quite sure what a train is. Other, less kind, people have been sending Bronny pictures of broomsticks and suggesting she might try one of those as a mode of transport.

'Look Bronny, this is a train,' says Malcolm.

No doubt Bronny and her dear friend the Pathetic Moron - sorry, we meant to say the Prime Minister - were both terribly grateful for Malcolm's thoughtfulness, but they haven't said so.  They were last seen smouldering together over a cup of batwing tea.
