Former Minister for Women (yep, really) Tony Abbott has been overheard telling friends in Manly how if he were still Prime Minister he would’ve soundly defeated Indonesian President Joko Widodo in a bike race.

The boast came after the current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Indonesian President enjoyed a bike ride together in the grounds of the Presidential palace.

”Tony was very confident that he could take on any World leader in a bike race,” said a Waiter who overheard the conversation. ”He kept reminding everyone about the time that he threatened to shirtfront Putin.”

”Of course he piped down when it was suggested that he should fly to the Ukraine and follow through on his threats.”

Former Prime Minister Abbott could not be reached for comment as he was currently training just in case any World leaders decided to try him.
