Australian politician Mark Parton has admitted to sending a text message stating “fuck, my job is boring” while attending a formal hearing. The admission follows an initial period where Parton dismissed the allegations as a smear campaign against him.
While confirming the content of the message, Parton has explicitly denied reports that the text was sent to a sex worker. He characterized his behavior during the hearing as an example of being a “multi-tasker from hell,” defending his ability to manage his professional duties while sending personal communications.
