Feb.22.2007 Australian Liberals not fans of goat sex
Brenton Pavier, formerly a candidate for the “central coast seat of Wyong” (that may as well be the Pope of Burgerland because nothing in that title makes sense to me), was disendorsed as the Liberal candidate due to a text message he sent to friends around Christmas that said, “The video you have ordered about how to have sex with a goat has now arrived.”
The head of the Liberal party, Peter Debnam, said Pavier’s comments, though “intended to be humorous” were unbecoming of a man hoping to be the Pope of Burgerland. I can see how that might be a problem, though I think that, as we get further removed from the current generation in power, there will be a lot more incriminating items like this to be found. Our 2028 US President might have a picture of himself fucking a goat on Facebook right now and by then, that will be commonplace and legal (though gays will still be not allowed to marry…the goats just wanted it more).
However, while this headline grabbed me, something else within the article stood out even more. This is not the first Aussie politico to be ostracized from a leading party recently.
Last November Aboriginal Affairs Minister Milton Orkopoulos was sacked from state Cabinet after being arrested and charged with 30 sex and drugs offences, including some involving minors.
He subsequently resigned as Labor MP for electorate of Swansea.
Really puts a bestiality-related text message into context. Unless the hypothetical goat was also a minor. In which case, that’s a disgrace to the fine legacy of previous Popes of Burgerland.
