If you thought Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was just going to cop former PM Julia Gillard’s brilliant photo-op with Rhianna lying down, well you don’t know our esteemed leader. Turnbull has almost one-upped Gillard by featuring in his own photo with his own hip hop identity — none other than ya boy Ludacris.
As the ABC reports, Turnbull met Ludacris when he attended a charity event for African women in leadership in New York this week. The event highlighted the work done by Ludacris’ wife Eudoxie Mbouguiengue’s charity Unspoken Angels, which “supports, educates, inspires and empowers” young women who have been the victims of all forms of abuse. The event was hosted by cardboard magnate Anthony Pratt, which brings in the Australia connection.
It was a fairly decent move by Turnbull to publicly support such a good cause, but we know why he really went there — that sweet, sweet Ludacris photo op, which will resonate with the youth.
So, now Bill Shorten needs a photo with a Nelly-level rapper or higher, or else homeboy’s gonna cop a slide in the polls. He wouldn’t even need to travel all that far for it either.
