Aussie Senator Larissa Waters Discreetly Breastfeeds In Senate Proceedings

Australian Greens party Sen. Larissa Waters brought the Australian Parliament into the 21st century, breast-feeding her baby, Alia Joy, during a session in the Senate Chamber at Parliament House in Canberra. Alia Joy is the first baby to hold such a prestigious but core values honor. 

Her mum is Greens party co-deputy leader Larissa Waters, who returned to Parliament after giving birth to her second child a few weeks ago, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

"The milestone comes after Senator Waters instigated changes to Senate rules last year, extending rules that already allowed breastfeeding in the chamber to allow new mums and dads to briefly care for their infants on the floor of parliament," The Australian reports. "The House of Representatives has made similar changes."

Waters is the first MP to take advantage of the new rules, and baby Alia Joy has a place in the history books of Australia. Can you imagine such an event in America's Congress? Hell will freeze over first.
