In 2017, Salim Mehajer plans to do what he loves doing the most. Taking selfies? Buying carparks? Closing entire streets? Showing off his extravagant lifestyle?

If US President-elect Donald Trump wasn't enough to contend with, the former deputy mayor of Auburn, 30, told Fairfax Media he plans to return to politics to fulfil his humanitarian desires.

"My passion for politics remains ever so strong and hopefully I will be back doing what I love the most, helping others," he said, when asked about what he hoped for the year ahead.

Scant on detail, the controversial property developer would not be further drawn on his plans, however, he told Channel Nine in 2015: "I would like to start off by being in state, federal and I'd like to make my way up to the very top spot. That would [be] my dream come true."
