Labor senator Sam Dastyari has used speaking time in Australia's upper house to perform lyrics from Taylor Swift's "Blank Space".
The young senator was directing the lyrics at foreign minister and deputy leader Julie Bishop, who had survived the leadership rebellion that cost Tony Abbott his job.
It's all because the revolving door of the opposing party leadership had inspired Dastyari to conduct a Twitter call-out for suggestions on songs about Ms Bishop.
When Julie Bishop runs for leader - I will insist her campaign theme song is 'Survivor' by Destiny's child.
He told parliament: "I will tell you who is relevant: Taylor Swift. And in Taylor Swift's poetic, beautiful and – I think – touching song 'Blank Space', which really is a modern soliloquy on the Liberal Party."
"I'm quoting a poet here!" @samdastyari reads the lyrics to Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" into Hansard 😂😂😂😂😂
He insisted: "I am quoting a poet here. I notice that other senators are laughing; I just do not think they are treating this with the respect that it deserves."
