Australian Politician Caught Viewing Porn

destinyland writes "An Australian Parliament member has resigned after admitting he'd used government computers to access porn and gambling sites. McLeay 'gave an uncomfortable press conference outside Parliament House,' notes one technology site, 'during which he admitted he had acted in a standard not expected of cabinet ministers.' Paul McLeay was also the Minister for Mineral and Forest Resources as well as the Minister for Ports and Waterways. In resigning, he apologized to his constituents and parliamentary colleagues, as well as to his wife and family."

    It's basically the same as masturbation, guys. Yes, we all do it, but that doesn't mean that you can do it at work. Especially if you work at McDonalds. Please.

      If you can get/watch porn on a McDonald's cash register *while* performing your duties as a checker, you deserve a medal and a job programming at google.

    The guy is from New South Wales, and was trawling the Internet, looking for NSW-related information. Somehow, an 'F' slipped into his search string.

    Paul McLeay was also the Minister for Mineral and Forest Resources as well as the Minister for Ports and Waterways.

    He's minister of all those things... the guy's surely got a professional reason for googling the following phrases:
    "rock hard"
    "water sports"
    and
    "sporting wood"

    Come on people, he probably clicked the links because he thought they were studies related to his ministership!

    Man, that's disgusting.

    He's so gross, he probably sticks his penis in his wife's vagina!

    ...A man goes to see his Dr. and the Dr. says, "sir you're going to have to stop masturbating". The man says, "Why" and the doctor says, "Because I'm trying to examine you"
