Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has told the Federal Court she confronted former politician David Leyonhjelm and called him "a creep" after they clashed over his "highly offensive" remark that she should "stop shagging men".
Mr Leyonhjelm told media outlets he made the "stop shagging men" comment in response to an alleged claim by Senator Hanson-Young that "all men are rapists". She denies making that claim.The Greens senator is suing Mr Leyonhjelm for defaming her by alleging she made such an "absurd" comment.
A series of Greens senators gave evidence on Tuesday that they did not hear Senator Hanson-Young use that phrase, although she may have made another interjection. She said Mr Leyonhjelm's subsequent comments to the media were "highly unacceptable" and amounted to "attacking her personally and bringing her private life into the public debate".

Paedophile whose victims were as young as 15 months old among Australia's worst, court toldAn Adelaide paedophile who sexually violated more than a dozen children in Australia and Thailand, and shared videos of the abuse, is described as one of Australia's worst child sex offenders. Unfortunately, from all reports this particular matter is but the tip of the iceberg. Wonderful he`s off the streets. Castration. Should be an instant action taken. Disgusting creature. In training for the Catholic clergy. At least he had the conviction of pleading guilty, unlike some of the clergy.
