SYDNEY - Several of the nine Australian men who sparked outrage in Malaysia after stripping off at the Grand Prix returned home on Friday, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull saying they were lucky to escape without charges. One of the men, Jack Walker, a staffer for Australian Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne, remained in Malaysia. Budgie smugglers is the colloquial term Australians use for tight-fitting Speedo-style men's swimwear. Australian Prime Minister Turnbull said the men were lucky to get off so lightly. "I think the Malaysian authorities were very lenient and I think the young Australian men were very repentant," Turnbull told Adelaide's commercial radio station FIVEaa.
