"There's so many famous people here!" publicist Max Markson exclaimed.

In the cloistered surrounds of the private dining rooms of Parliament House, a modest crowd gathered on Tuesday morning to hear alt-right poster child Milo Yiannopoulos​ speak with Liberal Democrat, David Leyonhjelm.

Apart from Markson himself, arguably the most famous people in the room were One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, former One Nation senator (turned independent) Fraser Anning and National Party enfant terrible, George Christensen.

But a little overstatement was understandable, given the excitement around him. A beaming Yiannopoulos had only just bowled into the room, wearing sunglasses and a loud floral jacket (that he later boasted to be Gucci), somehow bearing a striking resemblance to teen party host Corey Worthington. He kept both jacket and sunnies on for the duration of the event.
