Activist and author Bettina Arndt has defended her Australia Day honour, saying the criticism she has received has been “extraordinary” and people on Twitter are attempting to "paint" her "in the worst possible light”. Ms Arndt was awarded an Australia Day honour for her social commentary on gender equity through advocacy for men.

Ms Arndt told Sky News she had a “long interview with a journalist who admitted they are doing a hit job on me and are trying to malign me by saying I am misrepresenting my qualifications”. “The way they will cheat and distort and do everything they can do discredit you is a bit disturbing. “I would like people to go to the source”.

Well done bettina

thebettinaarndt All the painting was already done by Bettina and Twitter remembers. Also all the AM medal receivers who were insulted, shamed, mistreated when Bettina was awarded the same medal when others truly worked for community - they're enraged!

Keep up the good work Bettina; the pernicious PC atheistic woke brigade are a minority but speak through the ABC and MSM as though they speak for all average Christian Australians..they dont; but do tend to remain silent for obvious reasons

jack_lindon All the negative comments on twitter sum up the sad weird angry people that inhabit the Twitter swamp, because no one in the real world listens to their deranged mutterings.

jack_lindon Twitter is not the real world. You're great bettina well done!

No one hates like the left!

Don't pay any attention to the idiots who launch personal attacks on others who disagree with them.

Ignore the criticism you are strong

‘Honour’ 🤣😂🤣😂

That would be just the way the left play it ...... isn’t unbelievable what a bunch of haters they all are ?

Yeah painting her in a bad light by using her own comments and history as examples.

She's removed a tweet where she applauded a doctor who had been caught out masturbating female patients including a twelve year old girl, saying they should have enjoyed him pleasuring them.

Pedos rape kids and she defends them.

Assume by her voice she is partially deaf. Courageous lady.

That might be because she is a horrible person

They quoted her work, perhaps she should read it herself. It's a disgrace, she is the LAST person who should be receiving that award. Few women have done more to belittle women's, victim's and children's right.

She doesn’t deserve any kind of award. It’s farcical.

The hairy armpit & man hater brigade are pathetic !

She paints herself in a bad light you only need to look at her twitter feed 🙄

No painting going on, only reality!

no one has to go to all that much trouble...she is great at portraying herself as an enabler of paedophilia and violence

I think you are great and an award was always coming. Feminism isn't something men can defend themselves against. Yes we do have some arseholes in our midst and some cultures need to have a good look at themselves, but in general most are honourable men. Thankyou

Give us a break, we aint no Rembrandt.

Twitter does not need to do anything....her words speak for themselves! Inexcusable. BettinaArndt

Who is this grubby LNP stooge?

Take a hint?

She is a monster.

No paint necessary.

bettinaarndt ....I fucking wonder why. As an of age survivor (teacher and I was of age in Joh's Qld) I despair (35 years later ) if you are practising.

Who cares,,Australia Day Honour?All it is,is an elitist & privileged fake award for Government to reward those who have obeyed,personally the only honour it holds if at all,is a reminder to those whom have been awarded that the swamp bacterium of corruption says,keep it up! Pfft

Turns out defending pedos and rapists has a bad side ...who knew ?

Ms Arndt is entitled to her opinion

She should ignore the haters on Twitter. They do not constitute the real world, much like Twitter itself. thekennyreport

Her professionalism is dubious, and she defended an actual paedophile. That girl was vulnerable and needed protection.

It certainly was 'extraordinary' & 'unexpected', 'unwelcome' & 'undeserved' As for people painting her in the wrist light - I suspect she has done that all on her own...

Lol. She's the worst.

The old 'Say inflammatory things, then play the victim when it bites you on the arse' trick.

Advocated for a convicted paedophile. Not really much lower bettinaarndt could go really. The bar was set for the awards, only the LNP use it to see who goes under it. She slid under a snake and hey presto, OA.

If the shoe fits.

I’m unsure what other light you can paint her in? I’ve seen no criticism of her which is based of fictional events...

She sounds like a pentivostal crazed handmaiden, I wonder who the puppeteer is

She's doing a disservice to herself by her nasty tweets.

No, Bettina. You did the painting. People just remember how appalling it was.

Well done thebettinaarndt you are a champion for Men. To those who condom you they are the problem.

Twitter is full of sludge.

There are a lot of people on twitter as well that support thebettinaarndt

Controversial commentator given Australia Day honour for ‘advocacy for men’Australians have reacted with fury to controversial commentator and men’s rights activist Bettina Arndt being recognised in this year’s Australia Day awards. 'Australians have reacted with fury' is a total lie. Feminists have reacted with fury, few other people care. Stop writing bullshit with an agenda and start reporting news. It finally shows some commonsense in this award! Finally, someone that really deserves it rather than virtue signalling minorities that only serve to divide the country In my opinion, pretending Van Badham has good opinions on anything, is like accepting medical advice from Belle Gibson.

Men's rights activist honoured for service to gender equityBettina Arndt was admitted as a Member of the Order of Australia for her 'significant service to the community as a social commentator, and to gender equity through advocacy for men'. It's a shame you go for the most controversial honourees rather than use this as an opportunity to sing the praises of the people who largely go unrecognised by the media the rest of the time. Awful choice simply awful What?
