okay this is so fucking hilarious let me summarize some info i found from the notes and from wikipedia:

-he was in office less than a year

-he disappeared literally in the middle of the day

-before the disappearance, he refused to have bodyguards until a sniper shattered his office window and then finally gave in EXCEPT FOR on holiday, which his wife later suggested “was to hide his extramarital affairs”. not important to the story but i think it’s kinda funny

-he thought air tanks were “inauthentic”?

-he had “‘incredible powers of endurance underwater’, and sometimes kept himself amused during parliamentary debates by seeing how long he could hold his breath”

-his friends were worried about him doing this and he once told his press secretary, “Look Tony, what are the odds of a prime minister being drowned or taken by a shark?”

-he almost drowned TWICE that year already

-one of the headlines that day was about his doctor advising him to swim less

-they named a pool in his honor
