PM takes awkward selfie on Sydney train

While most Sydneysiders were excited to bump into Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on a city-bound train, one woman simply wanted to get her phone back from him after a rather long selfie.

Mr Turnbull took his favourite form of transport to the city on Tuesday morning after touring a primary school in Croydon, posing for pictures with inner west commuters along the way.

However Mr Turnbull seemed to pose too long for one passenger's liking, who reached several times for her phone as the nation's leader held it out of reach.
