We all like a little pill, occasionally. A gramme is better than a damn and all that. Sometimes, though, it's wiser to refrain than partake. As in the case of Matthew Chesher, who works for the Roads Minister in the Australian state of New South Wales. He got busted with a single tablet of MDMA. That's bad enough in New South Wales -- which has the toughest drug laws in Australia -- but what's worse is that his wife is the New South Wales Minister for um, errr... wait for it, kids... Education.
Needless to say, there were red faces all around:
My husband has admitted to making a very big mistake.
"He co-operated fully with the police, was charged and was released."
This morning he resigned his employment with immediate effect, she said.
"I am angry, hurt and very disappointed," she said.
Which sounds very much like a politician trying very hard to save her skin.
