    This is a dude that was too embarrassing even for the Liberal Party in Australia.

    In 2009, the Liberal Party of Australia threatened to suspend Adams from the party for six months for conduct deemed likely to “embarrass or cause damage to” the party during an altercation with Brett Mason, a journalist for Channel Ten. Mason was filming a report on Adams’ absences from the council due to overseas travel when Adams confronted him, stating, “I would just like to say that Brett Mason is a [expletive] good-for-nothing [expletive]. Thank you.” However, Adams claims he resigned from the party before he could be suspended. Adams resigned from Australian politics in 2012.

    This bit is comedy gold.

    In 2005, as Deputy Mayor, Adams put forward a motion to ban pigeons from the Municipality of Ashfield due to fears of the bird flu, but failed to explain how this plan would be implemented.

    I’m still not sure if it’s all just an act, like a right-wing-nutjob version of Nathan Feilder. He’s kinda fascinating, honestly, in a trainwreck kind of way.
