Australian Senate candidate Steve Dickson quits over strip club videos

An Australian senate candidate at the center of a gun control controversy has resigned from his party after footage emerged of him touching dancers and making sexist remarks at a strip club.

The videos of Steve Dickson of the Anti-Islam One National Party, were filmed in the US last year and broadcast on Australian TV on Monday.

Mr. Dickson, who had been the minor party’s leader in Queensland, apologised for his actions.

Australia will hold an election in May.
