Australian politician Handcuffed to pole in a Russian Strip Club

A senior Australian politician was handcuffed to a pole in a Russian strip club while wearing nothing but his underpants, it has been revealed.

Nigel Scullion had spent the evening drinking with a group of Icelandic whalers and Canadian fishermen in St Petersburg.

The incident has reignited a row in Australia over the behaviour of politicians.

The eventful night out, which happened in 1998, was revealed this week after Mr Scullion was elected deputy leader of the conservative opposition National Party.

It is the latest story involving strip clubs and politicians to hit the Australian media.
