A Brisbane councillor has been thrown out of the Brisbane City Council chamber for swearing during a meeting yesterday.
Cr Nicole Johnson was censured by Council Chair Andrew Wines for using an expletive, after herself trying to make a point of order against Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner for inappropriate language.
The incident came after Cr Schrinner was asked by Opposition Leader Peter Cumming if he would lead the Brisbane Pride March, as former mayor Graham Quirk had done before him. In reply, Cr Schrinner accused the Labor opposition of “peddling filth” and attempting to create division with the question.
