Australian state MP Robert Borsak is furious with animal rights groups he claims hold undue influence over national policies.
So during a late-night speech at New South Wales state Parliament, he announced that not only has he shot and killed an elephant - he's eaten one.
"Yes I did, but it wasn't in one sitting," he said when asked by Greens Party MP Jeremy Buckingham whether he had sampled any of the dead elephants he's posed next to for photos over the years.
"It tastes like venison. There are parts of the head and the neck which we sliced and fried with a bit of butter - it's very tasty."
The elephant might have been a treat for Borsak on his Zimbabwean hunting trip a decade ago, but it didn't sit so well with Buckingham.
