Bull and horses caught wandering into the home of Aussie politician

A politician from the Northern Territory had some surprise visitors in his house after a bull and a horse were caught sneaking in through an open door.

Andrew Mackay, who is a Country Liberal MP for the Northern Territory electorate of Goyder, shared a video of several farm animals gaining access to his home via a backdoor that had been opened by his pet dogs.

The pet camera initially showed two of his dogs pushing the sliding door open with their noses to get outside, leaving it slightly ajar.

A large white bull was then seen poking his head through the door, before stepping fully inside the room.

A horse then follows suit, with both animals having a curious wander around what appears to be a living room.

Another horse is also seen on the camera standing outside the door, but it is unclear if they also ventured into the house.

Mackay, who posted the video to his official Facebook account, was able to see the funny side of the situation despite the potential dangers of a bull walking around his home.

"Note to self: The dogs can't be trusted with door security…" the post read.

OPINION: There is one simple reason why the social media ban will fail

"Dinner finished early last night when I decided to check the pet cam to find Thunder figured out how to nuzzle open the door."

The end of the video taken later that night shows Mackay surveying the mess the animals made, with one of his dogs beside him.

He said there was no major damage and that all animals in the video were unharmed, but he still had some concerns they may return.

"Now the outside animals know what aircon feels like and will no doubt try again," he said with a hint of humour.
