Text message sinks candidate
THE NSW Liberal Party yesterday sacked its candidate for a key marginal seat after learning of an obscene group text message, involving a goat, which he sent to local councillors as a joke.Brenton Pavier was dumped as the candidate for the must-win seat of Wyong after Liberal HQ learnt several people - one of them a woman - had received disgusting messages. In his SMS, Mr Pavier sent out a hoax message purporting to be from a video store, alerting customers they had outstanding videos. The list named bogus X-rated movies, one with a title involving indecent acts with a goat. A dejected but defiant Mr Pavier admitted sending the text but claimed it was a harmless prank. The dramatic action came less than 12 hours after The Daily Telegraph publicised the 46-year-old's pursuit of romance on an online dating service. Posted by: Mike 2007-02-22 |
