An outgoing state MP caused a scene in Western Australia’s parliament after he ended his valedictory speech with a shoey – the act of having a celebratory drink, typically alcohol, out of a shoe.
Kyle McGinn ended his farewell address by cracking open a beer and drinking it from his removed shoe, which he says he became known for doing by his constituents.
McGinn told local media he did it to show there were normal people in parliament and to celebrate in his own way.
