Baby, That Was Years Ago....

Is this the first recorded reference to Cold Chisel in Australian Parliament?

Australia's PM2, Julia Gillard, got stuck into the UnOpposition's Christopher Pyne today :
"Presumably he prefers Abba to Cold Chisel, because that is the kind of thing we see on display.''
Okay, now I feel old. Some of Australia's leaders, and most senior politicians, grew up smoking cannabis and listening to the same music I did.

I won't be happy until The Angels and The Radiators also get referenced.

I have no idea why it cuts off after a minute and a half, but here's a video of the anthem in full.
