Hey guys, you know how awkward moments on live television are the best? Well, last night on ABC’s Q and A we witnessed one of the all-time greats whereby Joe Hockey got owned by an audience member with a question on same-sex parenting. The guy asked Hockey whether he thought he and his wife were better parents than his fellow panelist, Australian Finance Minister and parent Penny Wong and her same-sex partner.
Watch the footage below and be sure to note (a) the hilariously squirmy look on Hockey’s face when realising he’s been thrown over a barrel; (b) the shot of the audience guy being the World’s Smuggest Person as Hockey flounders over his answer; and (c) the dignified, sincere response of Senator Wong.
