Greg Hunt hopes his new title of ‘world’s best minister’ is of some benefit to Australia.

The Federal Environment Minister was awarded the gong in Dubai this week.

He admits it took him by surprise but that he was no chance of letting it get to his head.

‘I don’t think anybody can live up to a title like that,’ he told Tom Elliott.

‘My wife put me in my place very quickly and said I still have to put out the bins.

‘Hopefully it’s of some value to Australia.’
