Oh, so he's been taking calls all week from world leaders?
Maybe a commiseration call but I think it's more likely that Turnbull would be taking the calls now.

Tony Abbott poses for selfies during post-spill dinner
Tony Abbott has been ousted from the highest job in Australia yet that hasn't stopped him from taking time out for selfies while out on the town.
The former prime minister was spotted last night by former Big Brother star Jason Roses while eating at Turkish restaurant Ottoman Cuisine in Canberra.
Mr Abbott, his daughter Louise and her boyfriend reportedly arrived at the restaurant at 8pm and stayed for over two hours, with the three-course meal interrupted by scores of diners asking Mr Abbott for photo.
"(I walked up to him and asked) do you mind if I take a photo with you?" Mr Roses told The Daily Telegraph.
Mr Roses said Mr Abbott stood up and agreed, asking him his name and what his plans were for the night.
"I said to him I hope you’re well and everything is OK," Mr Roses said, to which the former PM replied, "I'm well."
"About 10 people went up throughout the night and asked him for a selfie, he was very obliging."
Mr Roses uploaded the photo to his Instagram page, with a caption lamenting Mr Abbott's position on marriage equality.
"Whilst you did accomplish some things during your term the greatest mark and legacy you could have created was giving your support to gay marriage. You could've been remembered as the prime minister who gave equality to so many," he posted.
Mr Abbott has kept a low-profile since losing the prime ministership to Malcolm Turnbull after a snap leadership vote on Monday.
He was notably absent from Question Time following the spill but has indicated he intends to remain in politics.
While preparing to exit Kirribilli House in Sydney on Friday afternoon, Mr Abbott briefly spoke to the media "to thank the people of Australia".

Tony Abbott and his family? class all the way.
Busy taking calls from world leaders incl Obama.
Rudd begged for a phone call from Obama but it never came.
The vile comments and undignified glee shown on here only really goes to their character and its not pretty.

how weird is this though?? so he said his farewells and hopped on the VIP jet, but did he really leave or did he leave and fly back?? I hope all this wasn't at taxpayers expense
Tony Abbott almost had us fooled when he said he was about to say his final farewells to Sydney's prime ministerial pad on Friday afternoon

But just two hours later Mr Abbott was back, if not as a resident then as a very familiar guest, welcoming more than 50 St Ignatius old boys for their 40th reunion.
did you read the rest of your link? lol
The reunion had been in the planning stages for months and was supposed to be a very covert operation.
With Monday night's leadership challenge seeing Abbott out of the big gig, organisers were frantically trying to work out what to do, but all were assured that the party would continue as planned, despite Margie Abbott being photographed packing up the family's Tupperware in preparation for eviction and their return to Forestville.
And in a move completely at odds with Australia's revolving door PM policy, they did not scramble for a replacement, but stuck with their original plan.
Earlier on Friday afternoon Abbott and Margie packed up the family cars, loading up a canoe, a surfboard, a bike and their dog.
They looked like any couple about to take a family holiday.
Perhaps tomorrow, nursing a hangover, that's exactly what Abbott will do.

They just do not read the full link, it seems that reading whole articles that have full details are not appreciated so they can still flog the dead horse.
As I said before, we couild do with a lot more people with the integrity of Tony Abbott and we certainly do not need the low likes of B.S Shorten. He will never be PM and in a funny way we can thank Tony Abbott for that.
