Pray for Trumble: A sinkhole opened up near the Australian PM's house

A bad week for Australia's Prime Minister just got worse

Poor Prime Minister Trumble has had a pretty hard time of it lately.

The Australian leader (his real name is Malcolm Turnbull, Sean Spicer), has been yelled at by Donald Trump, forced to reveal that he sank more than one million dollars of his own money into his 2016 election campaign, and watched in horror as one of his own party members defected.

And now, if all that wasn't enough, a sinkhole has opened up in his neighbourhood.

New South Wales, the state ol' mate Malcolm lives in, has been battered by some pretty horrendous storms over the past day or so.

As a result of the rain, a sinkhole has appeared not one kilometre from Turnbull's house, the ABC reported, in the posh suburb of Point Piper.

Fire engines are on the scene, and let's face it, his house will probably be okay -- but still, it really does seem the universe has it out for Turnbull.

Though, before anyone starts feeling too sorry for him, it's worth remembering the man is ridiculously wealthy. If he did lose the mansion, he could probably buy a new one. Or 10. It might be a better use of your time feeling sorry for all the refugees he has forced to live in unforgiving conditions.

In any case, Twitter sleuths already have their eyes on a possible culprit. Does anyone know where the Prime Minister who Turnbull deposed, one Mr. Tony Abbott, was this morning?
