Police said the man yelled abuse at Mr Turnbull about 7.10pm because he was served before him.

"There was no altercation but the man was yelling abuse, so he was moved away, taken outside and moved on," a police spokesman said.

"He (the man) was fairly intoxicated and fairly apologetic once he realised what he was doing."

The man was issued with an infringement notice for failing to leave a licensed premises.

The Prime Minister's office declined to comment on the actual incident but said the politics in the pub event was not affected and went ahead as planned.
