City of Joondalup councillor Nige Watson cautioned after claiming strip club drink as council travel expense

 A local government councillor who tried to get reimbursed for a drink he bought at "the best strip club in Australia" during a work trip has described the incident as a "genuine mistake".

City of Joondalup councillor Nige Jones was found to have breached code of conduct standards while on a city-funded conference trip to Adelaide in August for claiming a drink expense at Hindley Street's Crazy Horse Revue.

"His claim for reimbursement of an alcoholic beverage at the Crazy Horse Revue and attendance at this establishment while on city-funded travel does not meet the standards of conduct expected of a council member," a censure notice published by the City of Joondalup read.

Located in Adelaide's CBD, the Crazy Horse describes itself as "Australia's most iconic gentlemen's club for over 40 Years".
