During a family photo shoot, his three-year-old son Zachary threw a massive tantrum. But rather than pretend he has perfectly-behaved children, Leigh made the bold decision to include the picture featuring cranky Zachary on the Christmas card he sent out this year.

“We did a photo shoot with the whole family for about 20 minutes. Our three-year-old enjoyed it initially, but then found it rather frustrating that we were all standing still and looking at the cameraman,” the Canberra MP told Australia’s Today.

“From his perspective, you can understand it — why stand still when you can play?”
