I managed to crawl right under the skin of Penny Wong': Price

Price has bragged that her first speech to parliament ended in Penny Wong fleeing the chamber.

I managed to crawl right under the skin of Penny Wong.

I put it to Wong we need to co-design an Asian voice to parliament.

So that policies that affect Asian Australians can be their responsibility and any time I need expert advice on how to better improve Wong's life, I can consult with the Asian voice.

I thought thank you Lord for strategically placing me after my Labor colleague to deliver my first speech'.

There could be no better contrast.
