"...was accused of doing inappropriate things to a quokka"

They really do have more interesting scandals in Oz. From Rebecca at Burning Words:

Just when one thought Western Australian state politics couldn’t get any weirder.

After a couple of weeks in which Opposition Leader Troy Buswell has been widely derided and mocked for sexually harassing a staffer by crawling around on the floor, making sexual noises, and sniffing her chair, and somehow managed to prevent a leadership spill on Monday, it gets worse…

He’s now been accused of doing inappropriate things to a quokka. (For the Americans, a quokka is a small furry animal native to WA)

I have no words.


Um, me neither. It is a -great- catchphrase, though, one to ring off pub rafters down through the ages, I've no doubt.

and, no, I don't know what -which- inappropriate things, or what WOULD be appropriate things to do to a quokka. And, I don't want to know, and you can't make me.

because I had to google it, and because it's the cutest thing ever: a quokka.
