I’d gone out at lunchtime to go and do a bit of shopping because I didn’t think very much was going to happen that day. And when I drove back, I could usually find a parking spot right next door to the steps and just walk in. I had to go all the way up to Camp Hill to find a spot. And there was a chap from the parliamentary library who was literally running past me. Yelling out, “Gough’s been sacked!” And I thought, what the hell? So I started running, too, and got back into the building. And by that time, word had got around. But it was […] I don’t know, a state of shock.
