The
Lodge, the official residence of the Prime Minister in Canberra, is
overrun with possums. They're causing embarrassment. The
Daily Telegraph reports:
Former prime minister Julia Gillard once recalled an
embarrassing dinner with a visiting foreign leader in 2012 which was
interrupted by possum urine dribbling from the roof towards a valuable
painting.
"We had a celebrated incident where we had a visiting foreign leader," she told the Sunday Telegraph.
"There was much shooing of people out of the dining room
because someone spotted wee making its way down the wall to one of the
very precious paintings from the National Gallery."
The
Lodge is currently undergoing restoration. In the meantime, the
newly-elected Tony Abbott is living in a nearby flat with police
recruits. He says that he doesn't mind.
