[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]he video you’re about to watch, courtesy of The Guardian, is footage of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott reacting to a caller while on the radio show 774 ABC on Wednesday 21st of May 2014. As you will see, Mr. Abbott, presumably thinking he was not on camera, makes some very inappropriate gestures to radio host Jon Faine about the elderly caller, before realising the camera was directly on him.

Is this type of behaviour expected from a nations leader? Camera or not, maybe Mr Abbott should think twice before mocking the citizens he was elected to lead.
