Dear Paul,

Yes, that sort of behaviour gives others a bad name
as well. The PM and others within the party need to
call it out. And apparently they must have done that
forcing the MP in question - to apologise "unreservedly."

Dear Paul1405,

My reading of it says it was dog growling noises but nonetheless it does beggar belief given how much we pay this lot that they would be so petty and abusive toward other parliamentarians.

The toxicity toward women which pervades the Coalition ranks is very evident and this is just another manifestation. They really need showing the door don't they.

After the abhorrent way that labor and the greens treated Peta Credlin, and the cacophony of noises coming from the opposition benches, neither the greens nor Labor hold the high moral ground on this issue.

so sorry there Steele,

LIBERAL Senator What's-His-Name indeed was growling like a dog, and not oinking like a pig. This unknown fool sitting in the Senate for Victoria since 2019 had not been seen or heard of until yesterday. Although a Liberal colegue who sits next to Senator Van said he does fart regulaly and they can be heard (and smelt) around the chamber. When asked what contrbution he had made since entering the Senate, Senator Van said "Plenty! Who do you think puts the fresh date rolls in Scotty's dunny, ME!"
