Has anybody told Tony? According to GQ Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, Australia's ambitious Minister for Communications, is Australia's "primed minister."

Turnbull cuts a dapper figure on the cover of the magazine's latest Power Issue, which describes the minister's smile as "equal parts man-eater and lady-killer." He's sure to need that charisma, as many believe Turnbull is secretly vying for Prime Minister Tony Abbott's job.

Although Mashable Australia, for one, is not 100% sure about the bold shirt and tie combo, Instagram commenters seemed to be fans. One user even called Mal "Australia's Bond". According to Fairfax Media, the photos have been rehashed from a 2013 interview with the minister.

In the manner of Beyonce, the minister apparently wakes up like this (or did in 2013). According to The Australian, which got a sneak peek of the magazine's extensive interview with the minister, Turnbull told GQ: “Honestly, it’s this simple: I get out of bed and I am me."

"I get out of bed and I am me" seems as good a slogan as any to take to a leadership spill.
