00:00I was on holiday for a couple of days.

00:01I mean, you can criticise me dancing, it is subjective, but...

00:04SHE LAUGHS

00:06Honestly, it was...

00:07So what, you were out in a club having a relaxing time.

00:11I mean... Good on you, but...

00:12I mean, I take my job really seriously, and what I do,

00:16and I work, and I'm always in Parliament,

00:19and I'm always doing what needs to be done, and I'll continue to that.

00:57I got criticised for going to the opera, if you remember.
