He appeared to see the funny side, and laughed following the smattering of jeers.

AFL commentator Daisy Pearce told viewers on Fox Sports that the former PM was receiving a “frosty reception”.

The former PM is a keen NRL fan and regularly attends Cronulla Sharks games.

His successor Anthony Albanese is a lifelong supporter of the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Mr Morrison lost Saturday’s election and is in the process of moving out of The Lodge in Canberra.

He has ordered removalists to pack up his belongings and is clearing the way for Mr Albanese and his dog Toto to move in when Parliament resumes.

A big orange truck was filmed entering the gates of the Lodge on Thursday afternoon as the former Prime Minister prepares to handover the taxpayer-funded digs to Mr Albanese.

Mr Albanese will shortly be able to live in two official residences - Kirribilli House, the heritage-listed mansion in Sydney, and the Lodge in Canberra.

For now, the new Prime Minister is still living at the family home in Marrickville, where earleir this week he was photographed emerging for the newspapers in a flannelette bunny pyjamas.
