Sex toy politician told to 'screw herself'

A politician who suggested his council buy a sex toy for a colleague so she could "screw herself" is being investigated on harassment claims.

Australian councillor Danny Lim is said to have suggested the vibrator purchase at a council meeting last month.

Speaking in Strathfield he is reported as saying Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge should be given a sex toy so she could "to stop screwing with the people of Strathfield and screw her- self instead".

While the council sensibly opted not to table the motion, it is understood an angry Ms Judge has lodged a legal complaint with the council claiming harassment and verbal abuse.

It is not known if she would have reacted differently if the council HAD spent taxpayers money and bought a rampant rabbit for her.
