I see from his twitter feed that PM Turnbull caught a Sydney ferry to work this morning. He also said the other day that his Federal Police minders are OK with his continuing to take public transport.
Viewed from a distance, it's fantastic egalitarian PR for a wealthy Prime Minister to be seen to be using public transport, but I'm not entirely sure that I would be happy to be on a bus when he and his security detail gets on board. I would feel a bit concerned that I've just become a potential collateral target.
But it's pretty remarkable that we live in a country where this is not thought of as absolute nuts by our security services, or the media. Or maybe they do, but Turnbull is pushing on regardless?
