Uproar as politician joins city council meeting from bathroom with underwear drying

A New Zealand councilwoman joined a livestreamed meeting from her bathroom, with her washed underwear on full display, sparking an uproar. Dunedin City Councilor Jo Galer remotely joined a council call from her bathroom on Monday, August 3,where she was drying laundry. Mayor Sophie Barker immediately stepped in to let Galer know that her underwear and other clothes were drying in full view as she sat in front of a glass door in the lavatory, according to a cringeworthy clip. “You might want to move your camera,” Barker said. “Why? Where is it?” Galer casually responded. “We can see your washing,” the mayor added. “Umm, ok… can you see me?” the clueless councilwoman said. Barker confirmed the packed meeting could, in fact, see her, noting she was “onl...
