A politician breastfed during a parliament speech because women work and babies get hungry. Deal with it.

Talk about multi-tasking.

Larissa Waters, a Greens party MP in Australia, got plenty of plaudits earlier in the year when she was the first politician to breastfeed in parliament.

Now she's the first to deliver a speech while breastfeeding, because well, sometimes work can't stop. Here she is breastfeeding her daughter Alia Joy Waters, while submitting a motion on black lung disease.

Waters said in a statement via email that she did it because Alia was hungry, and hoped it would normalise what is an everyday, human thing to do.

"Women have always worked and reared children, whether that work was paid in the workplace or unpaid in the home. I hope it helps to normalise breastfeeding and remove any vestige of stigma against breastfeeding a baby when they are hungry," she said.

"I hope it sends a message to young women and mothers that they belong in places of power like the parliament."

The tides are certainly turning: In October last year, Icelandic politician Unnur Brá Konráðsdóttir breastfed her baby during a debate in the country's parliament.

More of this, please.
