WorldSYDNEY, AFP -Donald Trump is “a revolting slug unfit for public office”, lawmakers in Australia's most populous state said in a unanimous parliamentary motion on Thursday. New South Wales Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham introduced the motion condemning “misogynistic, hateful” comments made by the US Republican presidential candidate against women and minorities, including his lewd and sexist remarks in a 2005 video. It also asked the state's upper house to agree on the “divisive, destructive impact that hate speech from political candidates and members of elected office has on our community”. “It's great that all sides of Australian politics, from conservatives to liberals to greens, agree that Donald Trump is a 'revolting slug' and completely unfit for public office,” said Buckingham. With less than four weeks before election day, his support is teetering with rival Hillary Clinton maintaining her edge in national polls.
