Sydney (dpa) - Health Minister Greg Hunt has become the second senior Australian government figure inside a month whose Twitter account ‘liked’ a pornographic tweet. Keen social media watchers noted that Hunt’s account ‘liked’ a tweet from an account entitled @bbwcumpumper early on Sunday which tagged the accounts of Miss Banana and Mariah Leonne, who are both actively involved in porn.
The ‘like’ was eventually removed and the 52-year-old minister had not commented on the incident by Sunday afternoon.
The incident came less than a month after Australian Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne, whose account last month ‘liked’ a tweet linking to a video showing explicit gay pornography. At the time, Pyne said his account was hacked by someone “making mischief” of Australia’s postal survey on same-sex marriage. Pyne was a vocal supporter of same-sex marriage, which was passed into law in Australia on Friday.
