@salltweets Isn't incredible that you need to say this! What is wrong with people that don't agree with you, I mean seriously how stupid can some people be.
@JEChalmers@jechalmers, now that you have changed some of your tax reforms which you said were needed, and were presented as part of the budget, where are the funds that these taxes were going to raise coming from now???
I completely agree that misogyny is unacceptable. The issue is politician’s will complain about misogyny against themselves while championing misogynistic policies that Australian women are expected to accept & we’re saying NO.
Define woman in law before you cry about misogyny.

I have to confess.
I voted for Prime Minister Albanese at our last election, it’s true.
The same man who has just said this:
— “No matter who you support in politics, it is completely unacceptable to demean, objectify, belittle or offend women. The sexist campaign targeting Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is a disgrace and the people behind these materials should withdraw them immediately.”
Strong words. And on this one point, I agree with him: sexism should have no place in our political discourse.
But we are being subjected to another straw man here.
Jacinta Allan has not become the most despised premier in Australia because she’s a woman. She has become despised because many Victorians now know her policies have driven our state into its most serious decline ever.
My open letter to the Prime Minister is this.
Prime Minister, you want to condemn sexism against women and in this case Jacinta. However, you lead a government that can’t even answer the question of ‘what a woman is ?’
Only days ago, we watched as Senator Michaelia Cash challenged Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody during Senate Estimates - over Cody’s claims that legal protections relating to pregnancy also potentially apply to biological males identifying as women.
Read that AGAIN Prime Minister. Slowly.
We saw a parliamentary debate about whether laws specifically designed to protect pregnant women could extend to biological males.
This is where we have arrived.
You want to lecture me ? and us ? about respecting women. When it’s YOUR government that is unclear on what a woman is.
Women deserve respect and protection. But they also deserve having their existence recognised without ideological word games and bureaucratic bullshit.
Bring on the next election.
Quickly.
