Aussie ethics panel politician exposed over texts of genitals and penis in wine glass
An Australian politician was forced to quit a parliamentary ethics committee today after his ex-mistress revealed lewd texts he sent her, including one reportedly of his penis in a glass of red wine.
Queensland state government MP Peter Dowling, who has been married for more than 25 years, apologized to his family for the pain and embarrassment of the scandal published in the Courier-Mail newspaper.
I am not proud of the events plastered all over the paper,'' Dowling, a Liberal National Party politician, told parliament in reference to reports he had sent the woman several explicit text messages, including one which involved full-frontal nudity.
I can't and won't defend any part of it.''
The MP, who was also accused of taking advantage of parliamentary trips to rendezvous with his mistress, said he would stand aside as chair of the ethics committee to allow an investigation into his travel to take place.
Dowling, who is also a member of the parliamentary crime and misconduct committee, said he had complied fully with all parliamentary rules for disclosure of travel.
Dowling's story emerged after his ex-mistress, who has not been named, wrote to the parliamentary speaker about their affair and revealed that they had sex in the politician's parliamentary annex bedsit and electorate office.
The Courier Mail said it had seen several of the texts, including one of a man's underwear-clad crotch, another of genitals and one in which a penis was in a glass of red wine headed ``He wanted a Red Wine...''
Dont think i can ever look at a glass of red the same way again...
