A tough week just got a lot tougher this morning for the National Party, after another one of its Parliamentarians became embroiled in a sex scandal.

In an explosive turn of events, The Betoota Advocate can exclusively reveal today that the Queensland Senator and Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan has been having an extra-marital affair for the last couple of years.

Canavan admitted this morning that he has been cheating on his wife and fucking the Great Barrier Reef since he became the Resources Minister in 2016.

This revelation comes after Andrew Broad was outed for his behaviour overseas, behaviour which will see him stand down at the next election, and the behaviour of Barnaby Joyce which came to a head earlier this year.

However, while Andrew Broad is legally trying to change his name to James Bond and is looking forward to a future of driving around in flash cars and drinking Martinis, it isn’t yet known what decision Canavan will make regarding his future.

Canavan told us that he hadn’t made a decision, but wasn’t ashamed of what he had done to one of the World’s Natural Wonders.

“I love my wife and my family, but I don’t regret working for the resources industry, pushing the Adani mine through, actively denying climate change, criticizing future generations for their keen interest in the planet in which they want to live on and doing my best to destroy the world-renowned coral eco-system off our coast,” Canavan said.

“The world tried to stop me from fornicating the Reef with the whole Italian citizenship thing, but they could keep us apart.”

“If I had my time I would do it all over again,” he said tearfully before walking out of the interview.

More to come.
