Mark Parton is facing a complaint about sending a text to a ‘sex worker’ (Picture: ABC)An Australian politician has been left red-faced after being forced to admit on Thursday he texted ‘my job is boring’ during a meeting. Mark Parton – who leads the opposition Liberal Party in the Australian Capital Territory – was this week subject to a complaint alleging he sent the message to a sex worker, local media reported. He initially dismissed the complaint, which also claimed the message was sent to a sex worker, as a ‘smear’. However, he told journalists on Thursday that he did send the text, but denied that it was to a sex worker. He did not say who the message was sent to and defended it, arguing he was still ‘holding the government to account’.
