Trump ‘a revolting slug’: Australian lawmakers

SYDNEY, Oct 13, (APP/AFP) – Donald Trump is “a revolting slug unfit for public office”, lawmakers in Australia’s most populous state said in a unanimous parliamentary motion on Thursday. New South Wales Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham introduced the motion condemning “misogynistic, hateful” comments made by the US Republican presidential candidate against women and minorities, including his lewd and sexist remarks in a 2005 video. It also asked the state’s upper house to agree on the “divisive, destructive impact that hate speech from political candidates and members of elected office has on our community”.
