Australian politician admits to sending text saying ‘my job is boring’ during a hearing

Mark Parton, the leader of the opposition in the Australian Capital Territory, admitted to sending a text message stating his job is boring during a parliamentary hearing. This admission follows an anonymous complaint sent to the Legislative Assembly’s commissioner for standards. While Parton acknowledged the message and described himself as a multi-tasker from hell, he firmly denied allegations that the text was sent to a sex worker during the official proceedings last week.
