An Australian Senator is interviewed regarding an oil spill that resulted in 20,000 tons of oil being dumped into the ocean.

ON EDIT: After further investigation, it appears that this clip is from an Australian comedy show. They spoof current political affairs. They are actors even though multiple youtube links claim it is Senator Collins.

5. This had to be scripted! The camera

switching from interviewer to interviewee and back was too well-timed for this to be a spontaneous interview.

But it IS funny as hell!
