While it was the interruption that had the bad optics, it should have been the spectacular shortcomings of the Prime Minister's position that actually drew the ire.
The first one is the Prime Minister's return to one of his favourite approaches to political problems that affect him, and his ministers: to dismiss them as having already been dealt with. It is this aspect of women and politics that is at issue here: that there are no ramifications for the blokes involved. But there are for the women.
"This is done to undermine them and damage their career progression. Male MPs who actually are regularly getting their pants off do so with rarely any career consequences".
This excellent article by latingle seems to have been removed from the Facebook page after many Fbk shares. Was there a reason for this ?
Gee wiz.......its echoey in here .................. Hello o o o.
How many journalists have walked past this behaviour? For decades. Many decades. And if there is any truth to what Hawke did to his daughter(his own flesh and blood) it seems canberra attracts a certain ilk. Put a ring around canberra bubble. Never let them loose.
Gee... this is going to put Laura at odds with leighsales. It might be a bit tense when they are both next together on the abc730 floor.
Australia needs more journos like latingle. Unfortunately for us, she's a one-off and there really is no one else quite like her. All class, smart, and gutsy.
His Bonking ban🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ABC one eyed money grabbing mob
It's even in all the U.K. papers. saying there is no integrity in this Liberal Government. and going down hill fast.
The left IQ coming thru.
The Prime Minister is a malevolent embarrassment
Any chance of a libspill ?
Except that there is no Canberra bubble
He owes her and all women an apology for this.
bairdjulia its time the austgovt starts paying strandedAussies exiled by policies no way canthey bring back 40000 by xmas let alone the other 100000+ you are starting to kill citizens ScottMorrisonMP either thru risk 3rd wave or starvation or depression OPEN UP JOBSEEKER FOR STRANDED
Well LNP stands for Ladies Not Preselected or represented and most of the LNP members are misogynist or act like one!!!!!!!!!
By the end of this term of government, I wonder if there will be any ministers left who haven't been exposed for corruption or inappropriate behaviour. There can't be many left.
Laura Tingle - Doing what the ABC should - fair and unbiased, reporting the facts even if the government doesn't like it.
Well mainstream media including the ABC were fully supportive of Morrison at the last election. Reapwhatyousow
bairdjulia Tudge and Porter need to step-aside or be sacked from their positions.
🤮l met this entitled wealthy elite culture aged seven as an unprotected minor
Tingle going all Niki Savva areas here. She would be hating his approval numbers with a passion.
jesus Laura keep this up and they will be coming for you. great article
When doesn’t he
I saw libspill & got excited
Excellent piece from Laura Tingle, must be the most immoral, unethical and corrupt government we have ever had and now they want to rush through an icac that will protect them even more.
That is why Laura is an Insiders Hall of Famer.
I look at this photo and realise these 'entitled' creatures might have power, but they don't have respect. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. and this applies to most right wing power junkies.
I can't wait for the next election, just too many 'the issue has been dealt with' from Morrison, he has never understood that he is a servant of the people of Australia, AND taking the credit for all the work premiers have put in during the COVID-19 crisis and telling Biden that
And off course the staffer who can't keep her legs closed is without blame.
josie_gale 1 blob gone, 2 to go...
Porter, Morrison and co are extreme hypocrites with their overt alcohol abuse, lies, inability to manage money, and sleazy behavior, they justify the racist cashless welfare cards on those same issues. And what's with the boozy grog based pub test?
Fabulous article, as ever, Laura Tingle.
No Attorney General in ANY government should be drunk in public. EVER! AuspolSoCorrupt
I wonder how Mr Miller feels about the national broadcaster making his cheating wife out to be the victim?😒
Imagine his poor oppressed wife
What the LNP government has done to this once proud country is disgusting.
Need a independently written icac
Brilliant! Laura Tingle hits the ball right out of the ball park. IStandWithLaura ScottyTheMisogynist
With Tudge and family values fair enough but Miller was married with kids herself. She literally said 'the standard you walk past is the standard you accept'. Golly. Husar got the arse for being a bully and a female wrote that defamatory story, while Cash is accused bullying.
Morrison is a crook behind the headlines too.
“And from this day forward it shall always be referred to as the Bonk Ban” for Scott wished it not to be.
These men make me sick. Note Anne’s need to refer to speech notes in her glowing appraisal of PM!
Our method of selecting representatives favour the bold, the charismatic, the arrogant and over confident, the player and manipulator. It rarely brings out vision, integrity or public honour. This is how they act. Why expect anything different?
Had no idea Anne_Ruston has been putting up with ScottyTheMisogynist since 2012
It seems that there is nothing LNP ministers do that will make Morrison act.
Scott Morrison did the right thing what have they done stop the beat up
Fire him.
Good article latingle - Thank you thisisjournalism
Who really gives a toss what the rabid Morrison hating Laura Tingle thinks just more biased BS from the leftist ABC
Morrison is a political animal,who will do and say anything to stay in power. Why would he get rid of ministers and lose voting power in the parliament. I don’t think he would sack for the most henious crime if it meant keeping his job.
Exactly latingle another example of no integrity, no accountability and no leadership from ScottyFromMarketing
His position on this issue must be pursued as it is an important social issue. I don’t believe any facet of society is immune to this behaviour, including the opposition parties. Broadly I support his government still.
”...a lack of accountability about programs like Robodebt that go disastrously wrong with devastating impacts on individual Australians, and a refusal to set up a national integrity system which would hold politicians publicly to account.” 3/3 Well said latingle
“...as Ministers and Assistant Ministers is an honour and comes with expectations to act at all times to the highest possible standards of probity'. Instead, we have repeated cases of dubiously distributed grants...”2/3
“But the dismissal of its details points, once again, to the underlying problem we seem to see over and over again with this government: its unfamiliarity with the more general idea enshrined in the ministerial code of conduct that 'Serving the Australian people...” 1/3
PorterThePredator orta Nudge Tudge and wank wank if bonkban is not his style. Canberra Boys Club is after all.. One Big Circle Jerk cporterwa AlanTudgeMP 4corners bonkban
A lot of commentators this weeks said, the story would be over by Friday, The Canberra press gallery are moving on - nothing to see, nothing to see. Except it didn’t, they haven’t - and its become more and more unsettling. There is worse out there. And its coming. auspol MeToo
I wont bother to read because I have no trust in what reporters from the ABC say. Might be true, but may not either. Disappointing
Sexism is his brand
We really have to make a concerted effort on social media to get rid of the Morrison government next election. There is absolutely no accountability for Morrison & ministers only a few professional journalists hold this disgraceful rabble to account.
I see the ABC is still trying to milk this hit job on the Libs. You're wasting your time, but you are guaranteeing another funding cut in 2021. Left wing bias at taxpayers' will do that to you.
latingle fantastic article 👏💯
Well, it's either analysis or partisanship.
