Professor Gemma Carey met MP Andrew Laming on a flight from Canberra to Sydney."I was sitting by the window, so I was wedged in by him. He had the aisle seat," Professor Carey said.
She said Dr Laming made comments about her appearance: "They were things like: 'Are you from Canberra? You don't look like you're from Canberra. You look too cosmopolitan for that.' And he said things like, 'You have such a lovely figure in that outfit.' "He said, 'I'm going out to an art gallery after this flight. When we get to Sydney, you should come with me. We'll have lots of cocktails, it'll be great. Come to this art gallery,'" Professor Carey said.
"I think when it became clear that I was definitely not going to go he became quite disinterested. So, then he started just playing on his phone, text messaging. And at the hotel it was the driver got out and opened the door for me [and] got me my luggage. Laming — I don't think he even said goodbye. And then and then they just left.
Megan Lewis was on that delegation. At the time she was the assistant secretary of the ALP in Tasmania.She soon became concerned about Dr Laming's behaviour towards some local female staff on the trip. Ms Lewis said she discussed her concerns with another delegate from the Department of Finance, who called her boss in Australia to complain.
"It wasn't a very comfortable situation. It just felt very forced and I sort of had to engage with it. Dr Laming said: "The office aims to add every young adult to the electorate Facebook profile, by first seeking their full name and permission. With over 70 mutual friends in common, this 19yo adult was completely enthusiastic about receiving a friend request, which they were then at liberty to either accept or decline."Dr Indigo Willing is an avid skateboarder. She is also an academic at Griffith University, where she has taught sociology and criminology for six years.
"The last part drifted into music therapy which didn't interest Mr Laming, so her prominent skateboarding interest was raised instead. While he was 'happy to meet,' he no longer made any effort to do so."Federal independent MP and lawyer Zali Steggall said there should be clear rules governing members of parliament's conduct on social media.
Why is he still in our Parliament
I wonder how many times women made him feel uncomfortable? GenderEqualityWhenItSuits
Is this an episode of Rake?
This guy will surely sink the LNP vessel one day. He is the iceberg and Captain Morrison is steering his Titanic straight on to it.
I will be learning skills. Strong boundaries don’t engage, no one can make you accept a friend request. Block. Give them the wrong number. Long flight from Canberra to Sydney. Put earphones in close your eyes. Disengage.
What a coward, taking refuge in ADHD!!! Definitely too much empathy 😡
michaelpurvis64 Only four? Try again
Creep

janeenorman made Australia feel uncomfortable by stealing a vaccination from a front line hero. Would you investigate that?
4 women were made to feel uncomfortable by Laming's approach to 'include' them in whatever. Morrison, the Libs n Nats seem quite comfortable with him..speaks volumes to the govt's judgement & priorities.
Only 4?
There’s obviously something seriously wrong with him, I’m not buying the ADHD diagnosis. The pertinent point is not what issues he may have, but how and why he has got away with it for so long? One after the other, they protected him, Howard, Abbott, Turnbull, Morrison.
It was just his ADHD out of control. And now he’s done the Empathy training as well!well trained for touch ups
ABC NEWS. LAMING IS IN PARLIAMENT BECAUSE MORRISON WANTED HIM.......
Giggidy, isnt that Quagmire from family guy?
He’s back!
In the soviet union you could get people committed to a gulag and death for vague bullshit like 'makes me feel uncomfortable' - you know what makes me feel uncomfortable? This sort of transient defamatory bullshit.
He reminds me of every conservative creep I went to uni with. This is why he is perfect specimen of a Liberal Party member.
If I didn't have to pay the settlement out of my taxes, I'd love this guy to sue the ABC to the ground for defamation. Left wing psychopaths are uncomfortable with the very idea of anything male and white, so no wonder these bullshit insubstantial allegations get an airing
Why is this in any way acceptable? Resign in disgrace now!
Boys will be Boys, just abit of banter, these Sheila's are too soft these days, their lucky there allowed to vote and drive.
