A member of the Australian House of Representatives is outraged that countryman Ben Simmons was left off the NBA All-Star roster this season.

Tim Watts went on a rant in Parliament about the Philadelphia 76ers point guard's omission, during which he took a shot at the Miami Heat's Goran Dragic and pointed out that fellow Australian Joe Ingles wasn't chosen to participate in the Three-Point Contest either.

"Makes me think there's some kind of anti-Australian conspiracy going on at the league head office at the moment," Watts said.
