Senator Cash needs to grow up. I was horrified at her response; most unseemly for an experienced Parliamentarian. Those who are bright and busy have no truck with gossip. They just walk away. Another example of the poorly led Liberal Party. All the makeup and dressup in the world does not make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.

Aiden until you define what you mean by sexist or racist your comments are just pc garbage. The left usually are totally bereft when it comes to policy and substance but well skilled in labels like sexism, racism etc.

>until you define what you mean by sexist or racist your comments are just pc garbage

runner, them thar's fighting' words!

And stop trying to obfuscate the issue by requesting definitions of words that weren't in contention! If you think the terrible performance of Bishop, Payne and Cash was because they are women, you are sexist; there's no semantic wiggle room.

Likewise with those on the opposition benches.

Oh look the right wing loons have joined in...lmao

To use Runner and logic in the same sentence is near impossible to do but well done Aiden - Runner in everything defies logic.

This is an open and shut case of Cash getting it 100% wrong...The evidence is in writing - in Hansard.

Cash (a woman), acting totally in a vindictive, mean spirited way, threatened to expose some rumours about the women who work in Shorten's office in attempt to stop a simple question of where her new head of staff came from and what was their background.

There was no need to name the new staff member which she correctly refused to do.

THEN THE WHEELS FELL OFF!

Cash lost her temper and decided that threatening to spread rumours about women was her only line of defense when she should have simply answered the questions.

And what was the tough question that caused her to lose all perspective and launch into her vindictive tirade?

Senator CAMERON: It's a simple question. I'm simply asking. Did he come from another Liberal office—he or she?

If a man had said what she said he would have been rightly lambasted...but coming from a woman - Sorry that is entirely outof line.

That's why you should never be biased in your political views... As can be seen from this thread - all logic is lost when you start defending the indefensible...lmao

"Labor's Kim Carr is the latest senator who has been forced to apologise and withdraw offensive remarks during an Estimates hearing, after suggesting Liberal James Paterson would have been part of the Hitler Youth movement."

When the left whingers in this thread acknowledge the vastly worse comment by Kim Carr, then the rest of us might take their crocodile tears seriously.

Carr seems to have no self-respect and, therefore, is incapable of extending respect to others.
