Retired federal Liberal MP Patrick Secker has had his name published in a ‘grubby’ list of Australian government Ashley Madison users, but denies ever using the site.

Mr Secker’s email, birthday and a Parliament House IP address were used to set up a profile, according to Adelaide Now, on the infidelity service.

The former Liberal MP, who represented the south-east corner of South Australia, was reportedly distressed to hear that the profile named ‘MalukaBoy’ had been set up in 2010.

At least 700 Ashley Madison accounts were registered to the email addresses (.gov.au) of Australian public servants, including bureaucrats, Army Officers and policemen. The infidelity service never ran an email verification process, making it possible for imposters to create profiles

Mr Secker could not explain how the profile had been created and said it had nothing to do with him.

‘I have no idea,’ Mr Secker told Adelaide Now.

‘Frankly, I think this is a load of crap.’

There was no information to suggest that Mr Secker’s credit cards had been used by the profile, and Parliament House internet can be accessed by staff and MPs.
