Licence to whore for another six months

The sex scandal plaguing the Nationals has intensified after MP Andrew Broad quit Parliament altogether.

Moments after his leader Michael McCormack suggested he “consider his future”, Mr Broad released a statement saying he would not recontest his safe Victoria rural seat of Mallee at the election, due in May.

This will avoid another byelection but, come election day, could create a three-corner contest with the Liberals also contesting the seat. But given the government is so on the nose in Victoria, the party fears the seat could fall to an independent.

James Bond has a licence to whore on the tax payer purse for another six months. Just another black mark for Scummo.
