Beige clothing never created so much joy - especially in politics.

That was until Liberal Member for Berowra, Father of the House, and enthusiastic tweeter Philip Ruddock turned up to Parliament House in a safari suit.

Labor MP Anthony Albanese got a sneak peek of the '70s get-up.

Inside the chamber, during Question Time, Ruddock carried on with business as usual.

Ruddock has developed a fanbase for his #ThrowbackTursday tweets, featuring old photos of him, often wearing spectacular retro outfits like the safari suit.

And his latest effort was for a good cause.

Ruddock asked fans of the safari suit to donate to Motor Neurone research.

He set the fundraising goal at $1000, which was surpassed and continued to rise, even after Question Time was over.
