WATCH: PM Turnbull's shocking basketball shot image

From cricket to basketball, Australian Prime Ministers really need to work on their sporting skills.

In the vein of John Howard's disastrous bowling effort over a decade ago, current PM Malcolm Turnbull showed he hasn't shot hoops in quite some time with this embarrassing effort.

Clearly hesistant to take the shot after posing for a few pictures, PM Turnbull just couldn't resist a quick pop but unfortunaly for him the Boomers won't be calling anytime soon.

While running the country is no doubt a time consuming affair, perhaps it's time Parliament House got its own basketball court so scenes like this can be avoided moving forward.

We suspect President Trump will be calling soon to voice his disapproval... Sad!
