Men's rights activist Bettina Arndt should be stripped of her Order of Australia, Victorian Attorney-General Jill Hennessy has said.
After widespread outrage, Ms Hennessy asked Governor-General David Hurley to overturn the decision in a letter to him on Tuesday.Joshua Morris The citation for her honour mentions her 2018 campus speaking tour, which was called the "Fake Rape Crisis" tour, as well as her contributions to controversial academic Jordan Peterson's website Thinkspot.It also references her books and contributions to newspapers, magazines, radio and television, as well as her service on government committees.
Last year, she apologised for her "relaxed tone" in the interview but maintained that Bester was being unfairly "hounded"."I think it is extraordinary that an Attorney-General should rely on misinformation and muckraking," she said.Ms Hennessy said Members of the Order of Australia should be dedicated people who serve and inspire their communities.
outrage by whom? Arndt has every right to pursue her own goals.
FatherBob Is this from the women are always right crew or were right because we’re woman crew
It just demonstrates how unprogressive this current government is ... I feel for the females in that group & how disempowered they must feel.
Good she's a fraud
PCKJ3627 Can someone point to the Attorney general condemning Abbott Howard and ScoMo for their endorsement of convicted pedophiles and questioning the judicial process?
And a few more
Pampered Labor Attorney General misuses public office to push partisan agenda against honoured Australian. Sack her! Media mostly silent on taxpayer funded bullying!
If Bettina Arndt is so bad why was she a columnist for for so long? Her crime appears to be because she has spoken up on support of the needs of some men who feel marginalized, which some feminists don’t like.
Feminists at all levels are scared of Bettina. They don’t want to hear anything but the feminist agenda. Bettina is doing more for gender relations than all of these howling feminists put together.
Whatever her faults are, who else has stood up for the sons of Australians in modern academia more than her? Where are the other female academics pointing out the terrible misinterpretation of the pay gap? The inequity in the courts system? The media bias against an entire sex?
So do most Australians! Your point? auspol
The only thing gobsmacking is that this vile woman masquerading as an advocate for men’s rights at the expense of victims of abuse got the award in the first place ....Australia has lost the fuckin plot !
Very narrow point of view. I've worked in the space violence against men should be acknowledged there are female perps as well, however in the home and proportionately aboriginal women are worse off. This rarely get acknowledge. Violence of any kind isn't acceptable.
bettina arndt a doctor. It's looking at you.
Giving that charlatan Bettina Arndt an OAM is as idiotic and indefensible as giving Prince Phillip a knighthood. But it's done now. I don't see how they can take it away from her.
Meanwhile, George Pell still has his honour.
Only one thing for gobsmacked people to do; shut the gob.
What has the AG done to ease the pain of more than 300,000 Aust. children that don’t see one of their parents because of a dysfunctional family court. Maybe the AG should spend more time at her job than showing her true colors by criticizing those that give their time for free
The closer to their truth you get the louder the femhiss.
She should be stripped of any awards as she is not what she said she is she is a liar
I don't think she should. It would be consistent. When is the next election? Just add it to the register.
The Victorian Attorney-General should be sacked immediately for being sexist to men.
I stand with thebettinaarndt Real Aussies are with her. And this feminist mafia must be stopped on their tracks. They hate men, they are generally physically unattractive, and they are the perpetrators of crimes against our children and men through parental alienation.
Next year we will give a medal to a man who advocates for women's rights. Doesn't sound right does it.
Sad to see the handbag hit squad doing a job on somebody, just because they have challenged their point of view.
JillHennessyMP an under-achiever. Delays in Victorian courts sadly huge for many litigants and accused. She ought concentrate on reducing these, rather than criticising thebettinaarndt who vast majority of the time gets things correct because she's even handed. dailytelegraph
All t these 'calls' are all very well. A formal request to the Honours Council might have actual outcomes.ots of letters ought come from all the 'callers.
Good, she is a grub and a con artist. Send her to prison for fraud.
She was on twitter yesterday criticising her detractors...yet still didn’t confirm she actually has a qualification. 🙄 Should get a gig on sky with the other mouthpieces.
