A bit off topic but just for laughs during an election. From the Herald Sun:
A STATE MP has been exposed as a serial sexter, sending images to his secret mistress including a picture of his penis plonked in a glass of red wine.
In addition, Ethics Committee chairman and Redlands LNP MP Peter Dowling has confirmed he accepted more than $20,000 in free upgraded flights although he was not required by parliamentary rules to declare them.
He is also accused of taking advantage of parliamentary travel trips to meet his mistress in locations including Perth and New Zealand. The allegations are made in a letter from Mr Dowling’s former lover to Speaker Fiona Simpson.
The Courier-Mail has seen several explicit text messages sent from Mr Dowling’s mobile phone to the woman, including a picture of his penis in a glass of red wine, a self-shot image of his crotch while wearing boxer shorts and a full frontal picture of his genitalia.
“He wanted a Red Wine …,” Mr Dowling said in the text message sent with the image of his penis in the glass. Another image shows a grinning Mr Dowling holding the wine glass in a cheers salute.
It is believed some of the pictures were taken in his parliamentary annex office.
The revelations could force Mr Dowling’s resignation as chair of the Ethics Committee which investigates such allegations over travel.
The sexting by the married father of two could also threaten his LNP preselection with conservatives in the party certain to take a dim view of his extramarital activities.
LOL, in the great Westminster tradition and maybe even one up on Troy “chair sniffer” Buswell. Our elite at work!
