澳大利亚首都领地反对党领导人Mark Parton在议会听证会期间承认曾发送短信"f--- my job is boring. Wanna swap"，但坚决否认接收人是性工作者[1]。Parton最初对该短信予以否认，后在记者会上改口承认发送了这条信息[1]。
针对匿名投诉人要求他向议会主席和发言人展示与性工作者的短信记录，Parton拒绝透露短信接收人的身份[1]。他声称这是一次政治性恶意抹黑，并已将投诉转交警方处理[1]。Parton解释称自己最近连续工作了80小时，暗示这条短信反映的只是工作疲劳[1]。议会标准专员已决定不对此进一步调查[1]。
Mark Parton, leader of the opposition in Australia's Australian Capital Territory, has acknowledged sending a text message reading "f--- my job is boring. Wanna swap" during parliamentary proceedings, though he has rejected claims that it was directed to a sex worker [1]. The message came to light following an anonymous complaint submitted to the parliamentary standards commissioner, which alleged that Parton should "do the right thing and show his text messages with the sex worker to the Chair and Speaker" [1].
Initially denying the allegation, Parton later conceded at a press conference that he had sent the message but refused to disclose the identity of the recipient [1]. He characterized the complaint as a politically motivated attack and has referred the matter to police [1]. The parliamentary standards commissioner has determined that no further investigation into the incident is warranted [1]. Parton stated he had been working continuously for 80 hours prior to the incident [1].
