WA Labor MP Jackie Jarvis tells State Parliament she was warned in 2014 that Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce had a history of groping women and was known to sexually harass them at events.

I was warned about sexual harassment: Jarvis

She described Ms Marriott as "smart, articulate, passionate, professional, bold and loyal", and said she first heard of her sexual harassment claim against Mr Joyce when it emerged in 2018. "In 2014, I was the WA winner of the Rural Women's Award, and myself along with other state winners and runners-up all gathered in Canberra ahead of the national award event.

"I just want to make myself absolutely clear: I was the WA representative in Australia's leading award for rural women, and I was warned that the then-federal agricultural minister was known to sexually harass women at events."Ms Jarvis told Parliament that in early 2018, rumours started circulating that a past Rural Women's Award winner was lodging a complaint about Mr Joyce.

Absolutely disgraceful! How is this allowed!? So sick and tired of this RAPE culture!

Another ABC political statement. How many employees of the ABC are members of the Labor Party. Looks like everyone and it is probably an interview question. Must be a perquisite.

I don't know weather it's true or not, but he certainly looks the type'.

Pig

Nate_NC1 Well duh This is why he was forced to resign So how TF did he get back into the Deputy PM position It’s disgusting 🤬🤬🤬

I guess we now know the Status of Women in the Government's eyes.

😆

Sick of this trail by media !! Tell the police, let the investigation run it’s course, if there is merit, take it to court, once the court makes a decision, the media can report the result … currently it’s just mud slinging and slander !!

Louise Milligan has a history of not getting her facts right yet still gets paid for being a journalist.

The ABC is spitting out it’s Toxic Leftist Doctrine again 🦠🦠🦠

Yes, we all know this. I hate to think of what Joyce's political time line ends up telling young people. It's OK to cheat, lie abuse women. Just remember to say 'I've learnt my lesson' when you want you job back. Some men don't become adults till they are 60, some never do.

What was the name of previous labor leader accused of rape. What are the names of serving labor members accused of sexual harassment. How many greens members have been charged with sexual harassment? Why doesn’t the ABC ever mention them ?

She makes this allegation at 2am under parliamentary privilege. Enough said.

Eeww gross

So the POTUS is always sniffing the back of the neck and smelling their hair

Pretty sure he'll naturally combust soon ...

And these politicians apparently work for us 🙄 what a joke.

There is no-one on the front bench who shouldn't be in gaol if we had a proper ICAC!!

Errrrr yeah he arrived a person he got prego out of wedlock … where is the surprise news

What's wrong with that? He is a white man, white man grope women

And now some sort of specialist of woman's needs

Another instalment in the latest political smear campaign by the fake news, far left ABC. Struth, why are they so divisive and anti-Australian? They need to focus on serious journalism, not simply synchronising with the daily ALP and Greens talking points.

Whereas groping of men by women is acknowledged, discussed and taken very seriously, right? Just as per the financial abuse of men by women etc etc

You lot are absolutely feral. Barnaby derangement syndrome😄. AM, PM, 7;30 all have been frothing about Barnaby all week 😂😂

, say no more

You are all in need of new jobs

With permission, I've fondled many a young man, including those of a str8 persuasion. Which bit of consenting is he unable to get?

A useless bogan from the Neanderthals

Rubbish

Really? Here I thought he was called the Red Octopus because he lives underwater and has no bones

antfarmer The Seven Dwarves of auspol.. Gropey, Sniffy, Handy, Leery, Smirky, Starey and .. well, nuff said..

If the Fadoobadati have their way, Barnaby will never see the summer solstice in his potent-clown suit.

He subscribes to the Trump practice grab them by the …

ABC doing their best to ensure nobody takes sexual harassment accusations seriously ever again… 👏 👏

😂😂😂😂😂😂

We need to know how many women have been groped by this dinosaur who now claims he’s “a changed man”. Who believes he’s changed?

Did not!

Barnaby, always in the limelight!

RhiannonShine Jackie Jarvis MLC was warned in 2014 that the Deputy PM had a history of groping women. 🤔 Why wait until Barnaby_Joyce is back in the Deputy's role before bringing this up❓ She should've pursued it to the fullest extent of the law back then or in 2018.

SarkySage Barnaby_Joyce and his personal trainer auspol

If everything else fails bring in a bit of sexual harassment…

And we're shocked because?

“I can assure you that those same strong women are rallying the troops and we will not let a new generation of bright young women be harassed by that man,” she said in Parliament.

Oh great! And so the mud slinging starts.....we really are a lot like America at times aren't we. It feels like we are run by a pack of school kids at time....

Barnaby Derangement Syndrome.

This would surprise NO ONE.

It wasn't an issue until he got the leadership? Is this how politics is done now.

How can anyone trust this man.

Christi05571146 Pleased WA Labor MP has guts to call out Joyce reputation.

Let's see what Morrison does about it....

What luck, to have this guy as our deputy PM. 👀

And Bill could get her pregnant

But if you’re Labor you can get away with much worse, go figure? 🤔 justiceforKathySherriff

He has done this for years. Used to live in his electorate & people used to joke about it except the women he groped. But they said no one would believe them as in Tamworth they love him!

MSMWatchdog2013 Hmmm!

Leopards don't change their spots, they just find a different type of camouflage!

Another credible woman with a credible account, but bc men live by different rules, nothing will happen to Joyce's status, career, his standing within his party nor probably his entirely untenable position on the SofWT. Because women do not have equal status, do they? Conflict?

Which is why he’s overqualified to be Deputy PM and an advisor on the Committee on women’s safety and security 👍

Get lawyered up Barnaby. Beyond hate speech

Wow. I'm shocked.

GHillosopher Nothing new. Obviously doesn’t matter

But he seemed like such an above board guy!

Will no one come out and talk about who the 'red octopus' is? Seriously?

Does he so proud of this history ?

Labor fears old Barnaby

He could always try suing for defamation and see how that works out

The Northern Inland Groper

Wasn't o n e nickname 'Crimson octopus' or maybe scarlet.

SueChapo Keep it up... he might spit the dummy n quit! ... we hope

Just wondering, is the CWA okay with this guy? Nationals LNP Labor abc730 AlboMP LNPfail ScottMorrisonMP
