Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison is finally packing up his family’s belongings and moving out of the PM’s official Sydney residence Kirribilli House – almost two weeks after losing the election.

On Friday morning, two bright orange Allied removal trucks arrived to take the ex-PM’s belongings back to their family home in Port Hacking in Sydney‘s south.

Mr Morrison was dubbed Squat Morrison after he stubbornly remained at Kirribilli House with his wife Jenny and daughters Abbey and Lily despite the Labor election victory on May 21.

A delivery schedule in the window of one of the trucks revealed part of the load would be dropped off at a storage facility in Caringbah.

His exit 13 days after the election means John Howard is still the ex-PM to remain the longest in Kirribilli House after losing an election. He stayed on for 16 days after Kevin Rudd swept to power in 2007.
