Senator Kristina Keneally has told a defamation hearing David Leyonhjelm's comments implied Senator Sarah Hanson-Young was a narrow-minded misandrist

A then-senator's comments about Greens MP Sarah Hanson-Young sought to imply she was a narrow-minded, one-dimensional misandrist, her defamation hearing has been told.

In the material, he elaborated on his comment to Senator Hanson-Young on the floor of parliament to"stop shagging men" amid a debate on legislation seeking to prevent violence against women. Her barrister Kieran Smark SC on Monday told Justice Richard White that his client"steadfastly denied" that she made"the absurd" men-are-rapists statement, submitting it was up to Mr Leyonhjelm to prove his allegation.

The 71-year-old agreed that he had suffered"slings and arrows" in his long public life but said no one ever accused him of being against women simply because they are women, or being hypocritical.

She IS a misandrist. There are no two ways about it. What she said about men she would never say about any other group without throwing in the quantifier 'some.'

Looks like she has it in the bag. Not hard to prove. Hope this makes dumb misogynistic men and woman think before speaking next time. Hopefully next prime minister who is a woman doesn't cop what Gillard copped.

OMFG ! Implied 😂😂😂 that’s Kristina Kenealy’s interpretation 😂😂 that’s pathetic to say one implied 😂 I’d say Kristina your a misandrist ? Sarah Hanson Young couldn’t lie straight in bed

'implied' - that's an opinion. And he's right - she is a misandrist.

Oh yuk. Lawyers really are the parasites the Bible talked about.
