MP Andrew Broad resigns over ‘sugar baby’ secret

As exclusively revealed in New Idea - by Katherine Davison
  • 17 Dec 2018

Nationals MP Andrew Broad has resigned as Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister.

His resignation came after New Idea exclusively revealed he had been caught out with a sugar baby from a “seeking arrangements” website used to meet younger girls.

Amy uses the online alias "Sweet Sophia Rose"

While spending an evening in the company of blonde beauty Amy – who uses the online alias “Sweet Sophia Rose” and is almost 20 years his junior – the MP bragged about his “important” position in parliament, practised his official speeches and even referred to himself as “James Bond” in an attempt to seduce her.

Having met through a website for sugar daddy arrangements, in which a well-off and usually older man is willing to spend his wealth on an attractive younger woman in exchange for her company, Amy brazenly lifted the lid on the man she said was not fit to represent Australia.

“I don’t think someone like that should be in a position of power and making decisions for the country while being so deceiving himself,” she told New Idea.

“I think it’s pretty strange and risky of him to send me photos of him on the news. It appears he wanted to show off and told me he was a very important person.”

* In response to this story, Mr Broad comments: “I have been advised that the person making the allegation may have engaged in criminal activity. This matter has been reported to the Australian Federal Police and I will not be making any further comment.”
