TONY Abbott sure knows how to go out with a bang.

The former Prime Minister reportedly went straight to the pub with his loyal staffers after losing the Liberal leadership to Malcolm Turnbull, celebrating his freedom with a wild night of partying.

According to the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Abbott even danced with his shirt off, although one witness said it was a short-lived manoeuvrer, that “it came off, but it was back on pretty quickly”.

A marble coffee table in the PM’s suite was apparently smashed during the wild night and staffers even took souvenir shards.

A fellow partygoer, Assistant Minister for Infrastructure Jamie Briggs, appeared the next morning in a wheelchair, although he insists he was injured during a morning jog.
