Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and his wife Lucy are back in Sydney for the first time since spending the weeks since his ousting overseas.
The Turnbulls landed at Sydney airport on Monday and avoided reporters by slipping out through the loading dock, the Seven Network reported.
It follows the huge swing against the Liberal party in the by-election for his old electorate of Wentworth on Saturday, with some blaming Mr Turnbull failure to campaign for candidate Dave Sharma for the bad result.
