according to media reports it was inappropriate behaviour towards a female public servant, ie another Australian with them.
Should have just gone to Wanchai to pick up
Jamie Briggs resigns as minister over incident in Hong Kong bar with female public servant | Australia news | The Guardian
Initially I thought it was an Australian civil female civil servant, but this quote seems to say that the 'public servant' lived in Hong Kong.At the conclusion of the evening, the public servant left to return home and my Chief of Staff and I returned to our hotel together.”
Utter embarrassment. No, you're not being a man, you're a dickhead.
I say he is totally innocent and she assaulted him with her breasts.
I loved the bit about "I did nothing illegal", that's OK then. I always feel sorry for the family in these situations.
Well it is either going to be a grope, an unwanted kiss or an inappropriate suggestion or comment. None of which are acceptable in his position. Actually none of which are acceptable full stop.
It could also be not something he did or said to her but something she witnessed. Yep re-reading the article that seems very possible.

Obviously he refused to buy her an overpriced designer handbag, then.....or pay her for services rendered....voluntarily or not. Yep, no doubt he probably behaved like a 'jack ass of a lad', and sexism is rife in Aussie workplaces which are male dominated. Not accepted but in politics...well....another story to report. I am Australian, and seen too much of this after booze and bravado from our politicians. Age no exception.
