Honestly, what's wrong with keeping fit?
Nov 8^th, 2011 at 1:16pm

Mr Abbott goes to the gym, swims, runs and rides his bike each day. Isn't this the sort of thing we want in a prime minister?

The leftards had the nerve to bag out Mrs Vanstone, and she was the best immigration minister this country's every had.

Now we have a PM who stays in shape and the leftards don't like it. Well, I'll tell you something, we decide who comes to the Lodge and the circumstances in which they come. Don't you want a PM who looks after his health and stays fit?

They don't like him so they'll just pick on any little thing they can. If he did a lot of charity work, they'd probably attack that as a cynical exercise to appear more compassionate than he really is in an attempt to buy votes - or some rubbish like that. At least with Julia, there are tangible reasons for not liking her - plainly, she's incompetent, untrustworthy and arrogant to the extreme. Not to mention such a dead-boring, monotone speaker that she could put a speed addict to sleep.

Thanks, but it's something the leftards need to answer. We're going to have the first PM triathlete.

A lot of world leaders stay in shape these days. Mr Cameron, Mr Sarkosi, that black Muslim, Barack Obama.

When Mr Abbott goes overseas as PM he'll be able to do more laps and pump more iron than the lot of them.

John Howard was quite fit for a man in his 60's. One of his Secret Service detail in the US said ages ago in an interview on a wide range of topics that John Howard was one of the fittest he's walked/ran with and carried himself at a good pace.

A little bit more practice on his bowling might have done his image some good.

You can all scoff, but Mr Abbott will be able to hold himself in the locker rooms and showers at the G20, CHOGM, the UN and even the White House.

Mr Abbott has already said he won't be dealing with China, but if he did, he would be able to run or cycle rings around them.

I would not want to be towel-slapped by Mr Abbott.

I'm very worried about our future prime minister, whilst he has a body that a 21 year old would die for, his mind does not seem to be keeping up.

Putin can afford to spend endless hours in the gym and pursuing all sorts of physical feats because he has very efficient back up in parliament, whereas Tony has to put all his time into the Liberal party because he has no one else that he can fully rely on.

Tony will have to give up maintaining the body beautiful when he's prime minister. He can still look after his health by all means, like Howard did, but he won't have time for both activities.

Absolute nonsense. When you're PM you get to do what you want. You say when you go to meetings and no one else. If Mr Abbott wants to cycle in his lunch break, it's perfectly reasonable. He can ask his chief of staff to organise his shedule around his regime. This is perfectly understandable.

Mr Abbott will be the first Aussie lifesaver PM we've ever had. Other countries will love it. The Japanese, in particular, will admire Mr Abbott and ask him lots of questions about his fitness regime.

Our own press gallery will have other ideas, I'm sure, but this is a sign of just how toxic the media have become.

You don't hear Michelle Grattan asking questions about laps and protein shakes, but it would make a big difference to ordinary Australians if journalists asked the sort of questions we want asked.

That would be like Mr Abbott, to go over to Asia flinging his abs around the place, just to show them up because they are fine boned and can't get the same muscle tone as Mr Caucasian Abbott.

I dare him to go back to back with Mr Putin showing off his power bulge, I bet he won't be inviting the Russian News crew to see that. Mr Putin has the body and the brains and his ears are aligned with his head.

For one thing, it is far too risky to have the PM dodging traffic in his lycra at 4.30 in the morning, besides the traffic, think of the testicular damage a man of that age could do to himself.

We have already had one PM meet his demise in the wild conditions of an Australian beach. A short jog would be admissible under certain conditions.

He will not be doing any triathlon when he is PM, that I will guarantee.

Mr Abbott will be answerable to no one - he's the PM! George W Bush spent a lot of time playing golf. Silvio Berlesconi likes having parties. Why can't Mr Abbott do the sensible thing and stay fit? So far, no one has been able to answer this question.

On these standands ( and what we see of Abbott) Warick Capper could be the next LOTO.
