Nobody puts Sydney in the corner

Australia is one of the drunkest countries in the world. It’s like America, if America was Texas and had no world military presence or ambitions whatsoever. They also seem to have a penchant for bad movies, but let’s avoid for the low blows, shall we?

The hard-drinking reputation Australia has certainly applies to its politicians. The New South Wales (How cute, two adjectives in the name!) legislature has no problem reaching across the aisle to hand someone a Foster’s. But now they may have to have sobriety tests before voting. A Christmas party got out of hand, and other incidents in the state have raised eyebrows.

State police minister Matt Brown was dumped from his portfolio in September after allegedly “dirty” dancing in his underwear over the chest of a female colleague after a drunken post-budget office party.

Dirty dancing in his underwear? Over the chest of a female colleague? That sounds more like Risky Business to us.
