A town mayor in Australia, John Molony, has suggested that ugly woman should move to Mount Isa, a remote mining town in Queensland, where there’s a massive shortage of women.

There is only 819 women aged 20-24 living there out of a total population of 21,421.

In an interview with the Townsville Bulletin, Molony said: “With five blokes to every girl, may I suggest that beauty-disadvantaged women should proceed to Mount Isa.  Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face. Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness.”
