Payne not sure about a life in politics

She's the woman of the hour - who can put up a good argument - but Melbourne Cup winner Michelle Payne isn't so sure about going into politics.

The jockey - who declared that critics of female jockeys can "get stuffed" has told Sky News she enjoys sitting back and watching politicians argue in parliament.

"I think I could put up a pretty good argument, but I'm just not sure," Payne said when asked whether she ever considered a life in politics.
