SYDNEY (AP) — A state Parliament in Australia on Thursday unanimously passed a motion that described U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump as "a revolting slug unfit for public office."
Jeremy Buckingham, a lawmaker from the minor Greens party, introduced the motion to the New South Wales Legislative Council, the Parliament's upper house.
"This house ... agrees with those who have described Mr. Trump as a 'revolting slug' unfit for public office," the motion said.

They call each other c%$ts, so a revolting slug may be a complement.
SOmeone should tell that dips hit Buckingham that his fellow Green Jill Stein has said that Hillary in charge of nukes is more worrisome than if Trump was. BTW, I know that most Aussies are good people, not putzheads like Jeremy.

Unanimous! Not a couple isolated whack jobs from a minor party spewing crap from their pie holes. I know that it’s just a state, but be honest, if the resolution was brought to a vote in each Austrailian state, how many states would pass it?
The globalists hate Trump. They need an America that does economics that hurt its own people to distribute wealth to the world.
A revolting slug? Really, Green Party morons? Name calling?? Stupid...but when did you have a vote in our election
You’re very welcome.
Mind your own business you picket fence toothed slobbering drunk aussie trash
Did anyone else see the blurb Maine Gov. LePage said about “(Don Don) needs to wield authoritarian power”?
Gee, who’s been calling for this FOR YEARS?!?!
Complete allegiance and obedience MUST be given to Don Don. This country hopefully has the opportunity to have a 1933-level of rebuilding and ANY and ALL opposition must be dealt with once and for all. No mercy.
#MAGA
So if I don’t like legislative bodies in other countries trying to influence our elections, I’m a Hillbot? Wow. That’s probably the stupidest thing I’ve seen today and someone just showed me a video that says that cows will destroy the planet in 35 years. Yes, your comment is that stupid. Put the crappy quart-sized can of beer down and sober up.
Bummer. I would really like to meet some FRiends here this week.
But damn, if I’m not having a fun week already. How about next time?
Good place to comment on this...
Give Northern Sentinel’s comment a vote up while you’re there.
It says the entire parliament voted in favor of the resolution put forward by the revolting slug of a “Green” so apparently he has a lot of fellow travellers in that body.
It’s a date ;)
Maybe Brisbane - ish in June of 17?
It says that - but it's not true.
The motion was not even put to a vote. In fact, what happened is that the Green's member made an announcement that he intended to put the motion to a vote on the next sitting day in Parliament.
There was no vote of any sort, and no resolution of any sort was passed.
Basically the media who doesn't like Trump is trying to turn this into something it isn't.
Aha, thanks for the info.
Gosh, the state of journalism today is truly dismal.
Says here you’re wrong:

comment made by mr donald trump
Mr JEREMY BUCKINGHAM ( 10:04 ): I move:
That this House:
(a)condemns the misogynistic, hateful comments made by the Republican candidate for President of the United States of America, Mr Donald Trump, about women and minorities, including the remarks revealed over the weekend that clearly describe sexual assault;
(b)reflects on the divisive, destructive impact that hate speech from political candidates and members of elected office has on our community; and
(c)agrees with those who have described Mr Trump as “a revolting slug” unfit for public office.
Motion agreed to.
I wasn’t wrong, but things developed further after I made my post.
At the time I made my comment, Mr Buckingham had merely given notice of his intent to make a motion - if you check the video at the head of the article you can see that. No vote was taken as I said, so the claim that the motion had been passed unanimously was incorrect on two counts - no motion had yet been proposed, and no vote had been taken.
After I made the comment, Mr Buckingham did make his motion and it was passed without vote or objection, so at that time, it had been passed. But it still wasn’t unanimous as the media claimed, because there was no counted vote. It was passed on the voices, which is common practice with motions that actually have no real importance. I would have preferred in this case if somebody had forced the vote because it might have stopped the media misrepresentations but it also would have been seen as playing into Mr Buckingham’s stunt.
The distinctions are fine, but they are significant. Calling this a unanimous vote is misleading. There was no vote at all. But there was also no attempt to force a vote.
To hell with all professional politicians.
