Aussie politics is so much better than our US baloney

Danny Lim is a Sydney politician (I don't understand a lick about Australian politics, but it sounds like he sits on the city council, as a representative of Strathfield, a Sydney suburb). Back in February, he lodged a motion with the city council, directed towards Virginia Judge, who is the NSW Fair Trade Minister (again, I don't know nuthin' bout no Australian politics, so don't ask me what that means).

But even though I don't know anything about Aussie politics, I do know that this is awesome -- Lim's motion was for the city council to buy a vibrator so that Judge could literally go screw herself (in the words of the motion, it was so she would "stop screwing with the people of Strathfield and screw herself instead").

Awesome, right?

Well others weren't amused -- the council refused to table the motion and Judge lodged a complaint which led to the cops being called to investigate Judge's harassment claim.
