A candidate in Australia's upcoming general election quit his anti-Muslim political party on Tuesday after video of him groping and propositioning dancers in a US strip club was broadcast on national television.
Steve Dickson had been Queensland state president of the One Nation Party and a Senate candidate in May 18 elections.
The 56-year-old resigned from the party after Nine Network television on Monday night broadcast his antics in the Washington, D.C., club in September that were secretly videoed by Al Jazeera.
It was the second time that Dickson and his party have been embarrassed and politically damaged by the Qatar-owned broadcaster.
Dickson said in a statement Tuesday that his political career was over. He said the strip club video "shows a person who was drunk and not in control of his actions and I take full responsibility for allowing that to happen."
"Al Jazeera did not consider it in the public interest to broadcast the material," the broadcaster said in a statement. "Al Jazeera condemns the unauthorized use of its material."
