00:00All right. One, two, three.
00:04Pineapple!
00:09I have my first meeting at about 8 o'clock with the clerks and the officials before Parliament starts at 9.
00:15And then I don't sit in the Speaker's chair all day.
00:18Do we want pineapple on pizza or no pineapple on pizza?
00:22No pineapple on pizza.
00:24It'll only work if there's silence in the Parliament.
00:27It's a big majority and I didn't see this coming, but there will be no pineapple on pizzas.
00:38It's such a privilege to be able to visit so many schools
00:41and to hear that the next generation for our country, the future is in very good hands.
00:47That's great. And next week is another sitting week.
00:50Does this give you a little bit of practice leading up to that as to get yourself back into gear?
00:54Well, every school is different and every question time is different,
00:59but it'd be safe to say that there is some pretty good examples of good behaviour here at this school in Canberra
01:06that I'll probably be encouraging some members to follow when Parliament resumes in the next two weeks.
