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."

    I don't care if a politician was caught watching internet porn. A lot of people (if not most) do it and politicians are no exception.

    I do care if a politician was caught paying for internet porn. That tells me a lot about whether he's able to spend money wisely.

    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.

    It's the Great Firewall of China and the Great Barrier Router of Australia.
