A state Parliament in Australia on Thursday unanimously passed a motion that described US presidential nominee Donald Trump as "a revolting slug unfit for public office."

Jeremy Buckingham, a lawmaker from the minor Greens party, introduced the motion to the New South Wales Legislative Council, the Parliament's upper house.

"This house ... agrees with those who have described Mr Trump as a 'revolting slug' unfit for public office," the motion in Australia's most populous state said.
