Deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley was caught off guard when sprinklers unexpectedly activated during a live TV interview on Sky News. Ley, delivering criticism of Labor's economic performance, had to quickly exit the frame as water mist engulfed the area. The incident drew comparisons to a previous memorable sprinkler incident involving a politician at Parliament House.
What’s in a frame? Then prime minister Tony Abbott on his way to visit a butcher’s shop in Canberra.What’s in a frame? Then prime minister Tony Abbott on his way to visit a butcher’s shop in Canberra.
Ley, perhaps used to anticipating potential challenges and threats as a long-time politician, had been glancing at something out of the corner of her eye - which we imagine was a sprinkler jet starting to whir into life. “I’m here, Pete, the sprinklers on the amazing lawn in front of the War Memorial in Leeton in the Riverina just turned on and I got soaked,” she said.It brought to mind another immortal sprinkler episode, this time from the very heart of Parliament House.
It was her new colleagues in the then-government who led to her most famous moment in Canberra though, as Gichuhi was asked about comments from Michaelia Cash, who said in a heated exchange that she was “happy to sit here and name every young woman in Mr Shorten’s office over which rumours in this place abound”.Often, a politician says it best when they say nothing at all. Sometimes it’s with a rude hand gesture that shocked even their staffers.
