KEY POINTS

In a tragic vignette at Sydney's Vaucluse, Nico Antic died after a bite at a favorite swimming spot, proving nature and bad timing do not mix. Meanwhile, Nationals senator Matt Canavan, a man juggling five beautiful kids and a beautiful wife, declared on Sky TV he’s a ‘different species’ who just tolerates Canberra’s zoo without craving leadership, insisting he doesn’t care what position he holds amid a looming leadership spill against David Littleproud. Canavan’s priorities: family, action, and apparently, a casual disdain for political power plays, all served with a side of zoological metaphors.

Matt Canavan says he’s a ‘different species’ who doesn’t care about running for leader. Sounds like every politician who doesn’t want to adult.
If refusing leadership was an Olympic sport, Matt Canavan just sustainably medaled as a weird Koala in Parliament’s treehouse.
Five kids, one wife, and zero interest in political drama. Canavan is proof politicians are just like us, but with nicer slogans.
