You may have already seen the pictures of a lonely Mr. Abbott distributing flyers in the rain. But, what you have not seen and realized is how brutal a business political campaigning may be. Ask the man who was Australia’s prime minister until about nine months ago.

On the first day of his election campaign, Tony Abbott cut a lonely figure, distributing flyers to passers-by at Sydney’s Manly wharf.

But, what happened during the campaigning, perhaps Mr. Abbott wasn’t prepared for that.

A video shows a man swearing at him while the former prime minister cheerily greeted him.

“Tony Abbott!” the voter says.

“Hello! How are you?” Mr Abbott replies.

“You are a homophobic dinosaur, why don’t you %&#@ off and die,” the man darted back.

But, Mr. Abbott did not complain.

"It was good to meet with my constituents this morning at Mosman wharf," he tweeted.
