Well that sums up Turnbull, he is a Rogue, am sure he did not win many votes on election day sitting on a train taking selfies and dumping the media!
Turnbull goes rogue, ditches the press
PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull has ditched the media pack paying big bucks to follow him around throughout the campaign and is taking his election day publicity into his own hands.
After being bussed out to a school in Double Bay, in Malcolm Turnbull’s Sydney electorate of Wentworth, where Mr Turnbull cast his vote, the political press pack was told there would be no further media opportunities.
But Mr Turnbull clearly has further election day business to carry out without the pesky press, keeping us updated via social media.
He’s been keenly posting selfies and snaps from the train he caught out to Penrith, the candidate he posed with in Parramatta, and the snag stand he helped man at a western Sydney polling place.

Thanks to the team at Sydney Trains for this morning's travels and of course what would it be without a few selfies 1:34 PM - 2 Jul 2016
While the travelling media party was transported back to their designated accommodation in the Sydney CBD after the Turnbulls cast their votes, the PM caught the train from Sydney’s Town Hall to Parramatta.
He visited a polling booth at Parramatta Town Hall to campaign alongside candidate Michael Beckwith, who’s up against Labor MP Julie Owens in the Seat of Parramatta.
Labor holds the seat with a 1.6 per cent margin, making it one of the more winnable seats for the Liberals to snatch from Labor in the key battleground of western Sydney.
Mr Turnbull has made another surprise election day visit in the west, popping in to a Penrith polling place.
He also posted a picture of himself and Lucy taking a selfie on the train from Parramatta to Penrith, with no press photographers or TV cameras around.
The PM joined Liberal MP Fiona Scott at the Penrith South Public School in the marginal seat of Lindsay, which she holds by only 3 per cent.
Lindsay has emerged as a key battleground seat throughout the campaign, attracting multiple visitors from each leader.
Mr Shorten also made a trip out to Lindsay this morning, supporting Labor candidate Emma Husar.
He visited four western Sydney polling booths before flying to Melbourne to cast his vote in his home electorate of Maribyrnong.
Both leaders have spent more time campaigning in Sydney than any other city, with the city’s west tipped to be the place where the election is won and lost.
Malcolm Turnbull
