Assistant minister Andrew Broad has quit the frontbench in the wake of a sex scandal that could rock the Morrison government, amid claims he met a “sugar baby” in overseas hotels on a trip funded by taxpayers.

…The New Idea article claims Mr Broad connected with the woman through a dating website and they eventually met in Hong Kong.

“He told me he was in Hong Kong for a conference but he shouldn’t have been here at all,” the woman claimed. “He kept saying that he was very important and that when he left he was going to have to throw away his phone. He referred to himself as James Bond numerous times.”

Lol.
