Housing Minister underpants dance

Something tells me that Labour in Australia hasn’t quite got the hang of the po-faced morality of New Labour here. But even there, it appears that a housing minister dancing drunkenly in his underpants (or to be pedantic, only in his underpants) to loud techno music on a green Chesterfield sofa and simulating sex on an MP is cause for a resignation.

Matt Brown was a police minister for New South Wales, but before that, he was Housing Minister. In case you are curious, here he is:

Mr Brown, during his energetic and all too fleshy display, apparently “mounted the chest” of Wollongong MP Noreen Hay and called out to Ms Hay’s adult daughter “Look at this, I’m tittie-fucking your mother!” Mr Brown disputes shouting anything about tittie fucking, but admits the rest, including the distasteful colour of the Chesterfield.

Naturally, before entering politics, Mr Brown was a solicitor.

Caroline Flint, you have a lot to live up to.
