Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt says his Christmas plans ‘have gone to shit’ this afternoon after winning tickets to the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne in an office raffle.
“Woohoo!” he said sarcastically.
“Does this mean I have to go? I hate cricket.”
Mr Hunt look around the party room and caught the Member for Canning, Andrew Hastie’s eye, who clenched his fists so hard that Greg could hear them cracking from the other side of the conference suite.
“Oh,” he said rolling his eyes.
“I guess that’s a yes.”
As that exchanged finished, former Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack came back to the room with a stack of pizzas.
“Mine’s the BBQ meat-lovers with the green Ninja Turtles swirl on top,” said Barnaby.
Hastie shook his head at the fact that a man could disrespect his own body that much and got up to leave.
“Where are you going, Andrew? You can have the tickets if you want?” said Greg.
“Andrew?”
Hastie turned back when he got to door.
“Shove them up your arse, Greg.”
Barnaby spat a bite of green pizza out on the floor.
More to come.
