Matt Brown, the police minister of New South Wales in Australia, resigned just after three days on the job over reports that he "dirty danced" in his underwear.

He reportedly stripped to his underwear during an office party and danced over the chest of a female colleague, a charge they both denied.

"I want to say categorically, they are lies, they are not true, they did not happen," Brown said.

However, Brown has to go, according to Premier Nathan Rees.

"I subsequently put it to former minister Brown late last night that there too many reports of you in your underwear for me to ignore," Rees told a local radio station.

And so that's how Matt Brown danced his way out of a job.
