Just when one thought Western Australian state politics couldn’t get any weirder.
After a couple of weeks in which Opposition Leader Troy Buswell has been widely derided and mocked for sexually harassing a staffer by crawling around on the floor, making sexual noises, and sniffing her chair, and somehow managed to prevent a leadership spill on Monday, it gets worse…
He’s now been accused of doing inappropriate things to a quokka. (For the Americans, a quokka is a small furry animal native to WA)
I have no words. Though on the plus side, I’m guessing that WA will cease to have an Opposition Leader with a history of sexual harassment charges by the end of next week…
The very thought of any poor Quokka having to get that close to a Liberal is too much for this lad to endure!!!!!
…what the hell my state is so fucking strange.
WHY ARE ALL WA POLITICIANS SO STRANGE!?
I can’t even read the word ‘quokka’ without giggling maniacally now…
The fact that he’s still around is just… theres no word for it
This could become a Liberal Party game of ‘one upsmanship’. Brendan might try it with a wallaby, Malcolm with a kangaroo. Where will it all end ?
Well, was the quokka wearing a short skirt? In which she was just asking for it.
etc
…
well, it IS more entertaining than our scandals…
but um.
oh dear oh dear.
“doing inappropriate things to a quokka” has got to be a punchline for the AGES, even if it weren’t TRUE, it just -sounds- so, so…uhhh…
