Hey look, the Prime Minister visited a construction site this morning
From the pool report of the Prime Minister’s visit to a construction site this morning.
PM’s handed a nail gun, which he uses to nail in a window frame.
He says: "I’m not an expert on this," as he grabs the gun.
He struggles with it at first, getting an initial shot into the wall but coming up empty on his next four attempts.
PM: "Oh. Misfire."
