‘The microphone is always hot’: Scott Buchholz caught swearing in parliament

Sky News Chief Election Analyst Tom Connell has warned politicians the “microphone is always hot” after Acting Speaker and LNP MP Scott Buchholz was overheard swearing to himself twice in Parliament on Thursday. As the government business order of the day was being read out, Mr Buchholz could be heard saying “F**k me” to himself while sorting through papers on his desk before he repeated the word a second time while shaking his head. “In this job, the saying is the microphone is always hot,” Mr Connell said. “A couple of MPs quite not catching on with that today.”
