Australian minister resigns over semi-naked dance SYDNEY, Australia - An Australian state government minister was forced to quit following reports that he danced in his underwear at a parliamentary office party, the state premier said Thursday. Matt Brown resigned late Wednesday, only three days after he was sworn in as police minister of Australia's most populous state, New South Wales Premier Nathan Rees said. "I'm a human being and I made a mistake and I'm going to cop the consequences of that mistake," Brown told reporters, without elaborating. The resignation came on the eve of an unsourced report in national newspaper The Australian that Brown danced in "very brief" underpants to techno music on a leather couch during a drunken late night party in his Parliament House office three months ago. He was then housing minister. Rees said he demanded Brown's resignation Wednesday night because the former lawyer and university lecturer — a state lawmaker for nine years — initially gave assurances that "absolutely nothing untoward" had happened during the party. "I subsequently put it to former minister Brown late last night that there are too many reports of you in your underwear for me to ignore," Rees told Fairfax Radio Network. "He conceded he'd been in his underwear and that gave me no option but to demand his resignation." The scandal is a blow to Rees' efforts to revive the flagging fortunes of the 13-year-old Labor Party government with a new leadership team. "Embarrassed doesn't begin to describe it," Rees said. Brown said he had agreed with Rees that he should resign for behaving "in a manner not befitting a minister."

Let this be a lesson... as a friend of mine has long said, no one ever gets *promoted* at office parties....

Eyup, once you are elected. People expect you to be just like an angel. Cannot do this and cannot do that. Sneeze at a bush, and the whole nation want your neck!

Sounds like he knows how to party though!

Honestly, who wants to get into politics...can't do anything fun after that. I mean, he wasn't even nude, so what's the big deal anyway?

You can easily become rich if you are elected and hold a position in the government.

Although that shouldn't be the reason for getting elected...
