Labor Senator Helen Polley has a novel (and presumably fatal) trick for cooking eggs.
![News Senator Helen Polley's TikTok #egghack](https://www.crikey.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Screen-Shot-2023-04-14-at-11.53.46-am.png?w=740)
Eggs contain a abnormal and storied position in Australian political history, largely when deployed as a weapon in opposition to politicians — beginning with then-high minister Billy Hughes for the duration of the conscription debate, through Julia Gillard and Craig Kelly, and naturally the Fraser Anning incident, which threw Egg Boy into the stratosphere.
Bob Katter threw eggs at the Beatles as a younger man, and we’re frankly amazed Tony Abbott has gotten this a long way into public lifestyles without cracking a raw one straight into his gob to demonstrate enhance for rooster farmers. In other areas, burned without waste into our brains is outmoded journalist Phillip Adams’ reward in The Australian for “Googs. Cackleberries. Bum-fruit. Correct egg, poor egg, nest egg, all of your eggs in one basket, egg on your face. Overegged. Stout as a goog. Eggsetera.”
Anyway, Labor Senator for Tasmania Helen Polley has now made her fill contribution to Australia’s history of political eggcentricity (I’ll demonstrate myself out, thanks).
