The Ipswich, Australia, City Council has reprimanded council member Paul Tully for posting a sexist joke to his personal Facebook page. The post read: "I asked my trainer which machine at the gym I should use to impress beautiful women. He pointed outside and said, 'The ATM Machine.'" The post received a half dozen complaints before Tully removed it.
