This man was forced to resign last night after just three days as our state's latest Police Minister for getting drunk in his office, undressing to his underpants and allegedly engaging in a simulated sex act with a female MP old enough to be his mother.
But, what the fuck.....
I've just heard an interview on radio in which two journalists discussed this matter and effectively outed the departed Minister as being gay.
Where did that come from?
he looks like a screamer to me?
ReplyDeleteThat's odd Victor. I had nothing to base my thoughts on other than Melbourne's evening ABC news where I saw him(of course I had heard about the story the whole day) but straight away my gaydar raised.
ReplyDeleteTrotting out the niece or presumed niece is a bit of a gaydar-raiser.
ReplyDeleteEven if everything which is alleged is true, just how shocking was it really? Sackable?
It seems (to the extent that you can believe anything anyone is saying) that the true sacking offence was fibbing to the boss.
Well there you are. I must have been the last to know. Obviously I'm visiting the wrong saunas!
ReplyDeleteSomething about this story made me question him. As for the radio-outing, well, why not kick a man when he's down?
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, look at that photo. There are a thousand subtle-ways that screams pillow-biter!
See also this story in the SSO (http://www.starobserver.com.au/news/2008/09/10/nsw-labor-bloodletting-a-boost-for-gays/1663) which obviously predates his departure:
ReplyDelete"Matt Brown is the new police minister, replacing David Campbell who established the homophobic violence workshop."
I like the way that they say something about the former minister, but nothing express about Mr Brwon.
OMG. You go away for a few months and the face of NSW politics changes dramatically. On my last big overseas holiday, Jeff Kennett was defeated. This time around Morris Iemma (and others) get the axe. I should travel more often...
ReplyDeletewell he is divorced with a 10 year old son as I recall.
ReplyDeleteThe problem seemed to be getting drunk at a work function is sack- able but getting drunk at a private party may not have been .
Queer logic - perhaps.
