    This Photo Of Tony Abbott Hugging A Crying Child Will Give You Nightmares

    It's a hell of a photo.

    Tony Abbott has been flying around Australia promoting the budget, especially big changes to childcare. On Friday he dropped into the town of Ulverstone and was snapped with a baby. Whoah boy.

    To be fair to Mr Abbott the visit to the Discovery Early Learning Centre showed that the rest of the kids really took to the prime minister. This girl and boy clearly show that.

    It's just if you zoom in on *that* photo he's positively maniacal and little, 15 month old Tully Hubbard is absolutely petrified.

    If the photo wasn't glorious enough... what the hell is going on with the prime minister's knuckles?????

    This photo must be submitted for a Walkley. It's lit up a dull day in Australian politics.
