An intruder at the microphone is tackled and taken away by security before elected PM Tony Abbott makes his victory speech.

THE man who was tackled from the stage after Tony Abbott's victory speech is a serial pest who has twice before gatecrashed private political events.

The man, who identifies himself as Twiggy Palmcock and 25-year-old University of Melbourne playwright Fregmonto Stokes, last November wandered on stage with another coal protester as Mr Abbott addressed a Securing the Future conference.

Mr Stokes and Dominic O'Dwyer wandered on to stage in song as mining magnate character Twiggy and made-up young Liberal Michael Higgins-Beaumont at the November event at Melbourne University.

Mr Abbott was unfazed and told the crowd it appeared university humour had not changed since he was a student.

The duo also walked, unchallenged, into an invite-only Committee of Economic Development of Australia event at Melbourne's Hilton Hotel to disrupt an address by former energy minister Martin Ferguson.

And they were part of a group of 13 anti-coal activists who locked themselves onto the pillars of the Victorian parliament building last year.

Mr Stokes maintains a fanciful Facebook page as his Clive Palmer-loving Twiggy Palmcock persona in which he claims to have sought asylum in Sri Lanka from the Rudd Government, only to be sought for extradition after Mr Ferguson filed a sexual harassment claim against him.

Last night he offered reporters jobs in his mine he said he would set up after he became the next MP for Greenway under the Coalition.

He said he had taken to the stage, shaking Mr Abbott's hand, to discuss his plans to run in the next election.

Mr Stokes spoke to reporters after being ejected from Sydney's Four Seasons hotel, where the Liberal party was held.

Dressed in a suit, he had made a yellow wrist bracelet out of Starburst wrappers to resemble those worn by the media to get into the invite-only event.

He moved to the stage within metres of former PM John Howard, took to the lectern and attempted to be photographed standing next to Mr Abbott's daughter, Frances.

"I just walked through the front door with my yellow wrist band," he said later.

Security staff had been "very happy with the design of the tag".

Although he was tackled heavily by federal police as soon as it was realised he did not belong on the stage, he was able to stay close to Mr Abbott and his family for several seconds, raising questions over the preparedness of security.

Mr Abbott's three daughters appeared concerned as three police rushed the stage to wrestle him off.

Liberal Senator Mathias Cormann said the incident was concerning.

"It was weird," he said.

"He shouldn't have been there, it looked as though he was there officially, obviously he wasn't, that was a bit of a worry."

People in the crowd believed at first he may have been Louise Abbott's boyfriend Stefano but Mr Howard told those around him it was not Mr Abbott's eldest daughter's partner.

Liberals in the crowd were shocked by the slow reaction of the incoming PM's security detail as the man continued to behave strangely.

A female security guard had been seen tugging the man's pants as he stood by the lectern and the family.

But when he did not come down, police removed him by force.

Stokes has since told Business Insider his original intent was to take the stage towards the end of the victory speech, but that he had been unable to. Instead, he had got close to Mr Abbott when the new PM stepped down into the crowd, allowing him to mount the stage with him when he returned.

Denying he was a serial pest, he said he had had a nice chat with Mr Abbott about running in the ALP seat of Greenway in the next election.

"I was the one who was having a private chat," he said, accusing media of being communist press.

"We had a private chat about me running as the next federal member for Greenway.

"After a small chat with Tony, they respectfully escorted me off stage."
