Now, then all those 400 people, all these people in shiny suits, all these wealthy people, Joe, we love you, Joe, you're gonna be the prime minister.

After you give a maiden speech, what they normally do is they then go and have a post-maiden speech

party really yes yes yes now if you're joe hockey and you think some of these parties are quite modest but if you're joe hawking you think you're going to be the next prime minister he's got the bells and whistles oh man he's got the champagne the oysters the prawns there's 400 people there joe i've always known you're going to be the prime minister you're only 29 you're going to get there oh i don't know if i'll get there he's uh kissing babies on the head all the high fives all that stuff

So all the, every single person in the public gallery files out to go to his party.

Now there wouldn't have been anyone in Australia that came to Canberra that day to hear a Joe Hockey maiden speech and a Pauline Hanson maiden speech.

Well, Pauline's just unknown at this stage.

So I'm sitting there, I'm pretty sure, Sam, I was the only person in the public gallery.

And, but the disappointing thing is, is that I couldn't actually see it because I was sitting, I was sitting like directly above her.

So if she's standing, if she's speaking there, I'm in the public gallery just like right there.

So I could hear everything she's saying, but I couldn't see it.

Anyway, but my boss,

Had also gone to listen to, in the chamber, he'd gone to listen to Ross Cameron.

He'd gone to listen to Joe Hockey's speech.

And he also hung around for Paul Lane's speech.

And very few members of parliament did, but I did and he did.

And then she says all this stuff that just drops these nuclear bombs.

So I go back to the office and Ross is there.

He said, did you hear that?

I said, yeah, I did hear that.

And then Ross says, let's go around and say hello to her.
