MP Craig Emerson, the Australian Minister for Trade and Competitiveness, launches into a musical stunt during a live television interview in defense on the party's controversial carbon tax.
Mr Emerson was asked to comment during a live interview with ABC News on the impact of a carbon tax on the South Australian mining town of Whyalla.

The leader opposition Tony Abbott has claimed the tax which forces the biggest polluters, to pay AUS$23 (£15) per metric ton of carbon dioxide emitted, will "wipe the town off the map" if implemented.
In response, Mr Emerson, launched into a rendition of 1975 song Horror Movie by Australian band Skyhooks, complete with is own self-styled lyrics and dance moves. Mr Emerson sang enthusiastically although not entirely tunefully, "no Whyalla wipeout, there on my TV ... shocking me right out of my brain".
