Rudd look-alike gets handcuffed, whipped

A Kevin Rudd look-alike has been handcuffed, whipped and placed in stocks as part of an adult toy exhibition in his home town Brisbane.
The prime ministerial impersonator sported a blue tie as he exposed himself to certain bondage themes for the opening of Sexpo.
But despite having the Labor dead ringer in a submissive position, Australian Sex Party president Fiona Patten was in no mood to negotiate a preference deal over issues of concern to her party, such as drug liberalisation or censorship.
"If I thought that would be effective, I certainly would but sadly I'm a lot more cynical about promises that politicians make to small parties, like myself, prior to an election," she told AAP.
Ms Patten, a former Victorian Senate candidate, says the party is yet to preselect a candidate, with civil libertarian views, to stand in Rudd's inner-city seat of Griffith.
"I didn't canvass the Kevin Rudd look-alike today over his interest in being a candidate but he certainly seemed to me to have a far better, common sense view to a whole bunch of issues," she quipped.
