has told a judge he had no doubt that the meaning of a colleague's parliamentary interjection was"all men are rapists".
David Leyonhjelm has told a judge he had no doubt that the meaning of a colleague's parliamentary interjection was"all men are rapists".He was giving evidence in the Federal Court on Thursday at the lawsuit brought by Senator Hanson-Young, who says he defamed her in a media statement and in three media interviews between June 28 and July 2, 2018.
In the media 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.Under cross-examination by her barrister Sue Chrysanthou, Mr Leyonhjelm denied that the words"I strongly urge Senator Hanson-Young to continue shagging men" in his later press release was outrageous and flippant.
The barrister referred to Greens Senator Janet Rice saying, during the same debate,"interventions that prevent men's violence".
Projecting.
Freedom of speech....
What attracts these low life shitheads to the Senate? Surely they arent there just for the money. I think Keating was right when he called the Senate 'unrepresentative swill'. Im struggling to find a 1/2 decent senator
What a tool
Didn’t Hinch send a tweet that he heard it too.
NotAllDavidLeyonhjelms
And I have no doubt he has shit for brains, but here we are.
A politician who can’t recall what he heard and what he said..... Sounds very John Howardish.......
That's not very logically consistent of him, is it? On the one hand she's always 'shagging men', and on the other thinks that they're all rapists? Now trying to justify his behaviour towards her. Pillock.
Who votes for these people?
He also had no doubt he was elected to the NSW Upper House, despite not having the votes.
