Australia MPs 'face breath tests'

Politicians in an Australian state could be breathalysed before voting after reports of bad behaviour by MPs.
...
Several MPs have now backed a proposal to supply breath test kits.

"Honestly, if you are going to have breathalysers for people driving cranes you should have breathalysers for people writing laws," New South Wales Greens MP John Kaye told the Sydney-based Daily Telegraph newspaper.

Barry O'Farrell, leader of the coalition opposition, said he would gladly submit to an alcohol test before entering parliament.

And the Speaker Richard Torbay said he would have no problem with the idea as long as tests were voluntary.

You know that some of the stuff Congress passes makes you ask, "were they stoned or something?" Now you could know.

Some of our best politicians have been drunks. And then there is Kennedy...so it all evens out.
