What’s he on? So I can avoid it.
A truly painful moment, from a pollie who you would have thought knew better.
A song and dance that will live in infamy.
Lighten up Guys. A bit of fun for a change. And the dance wasn’t all bad for a pollie
Accountants love to live on the edge apparently!!
Note to Craig: Shorten the intro a little (kinda feels a tad awkward at the start there)….and maybe get dance lessons from someone other that Peter G :o)
