Sarah Hanson-Young: The most honest, humane politician we have

Jump to new
She certainly didn't inspire confidence, in her argument, Lisa had her struggling to articulate her point of view.
I hope her funding is coming along well, it may be expensive. IMO
Whichever way it goes, it will be interesting.
 
I don't know the context or who threw the first barb but Leyonhjelm's comment was a low blow. Involving the public is a masterstroke because most will sympathise with the female, right or wrong.

Dunno, reaction on Twitter was pretty negative. The vast majority of my clients (95% women, mostly left leaning) have been polemical about it. Not all support Leyonhjelm's actions mind you, but only one actually supported SHY. That's a pretty good "pub test" imo.

 
The whole thing has been blown out of proportion, mostly by SHY herself.

It's just the rough and tumble of politics.

If Lleyonhjhelme (I'll never spell that right) was a gentleman he would apologise, but he's not so making a fuss about it is just giving him more publicity.

For all of Sarah demands she be treated equal to men, she takes umbrage when she is.

If the courts force an apology, if David is pinged, etc the process will just just reinforce the paternal and patronising nature (farce) of the whole equity employment, rights, etc...which of course is a reality but no one wants to hurt the feelings of people who get ahead because of law enforced gender, race, colour, defect, etc bias instead of merit.

Calling a bloke a "ladies man" might be considered a compliment, I don't see why the reverse shouldn't apply. :D

I was wondering how much emotional damage is being done to her daughter and if Sarah is parental enough to completely shield her. I have my doubts Sarah's emotional maturity is upto the task and there are actually blurred lines between maternal responsibilities and friendship....I'd bet her daughter is an emotional crutch.
 
Hopefully the Courts take a dim view of her using crowd funding to make sure she doesn't lose a cent, but the person she is taking to Court is fully exposed. Someone link me to David L's funding page please.

P.S. I'm seeking funding for a Melbourne Cup bet. It's 9/1 odds, so I'd appreciate it if you all could cover my potential loses pls.

I'm just struggling to accept that SHY believes this is an issue for the courts.

Possibly six figures overall for the lawyers over this?

I reckon it will get conveniently forgotten after SHY reaps a few hundred thousand from the dupes.
 
I wonder if the courts will deem that SHY, actually defamed Leyonhjelm, by saying publicly he called her a slut.
That reflects on his character, when he didn't call her that at all. He just suggested she doesn't have intimate relations with men, if she hates them so much.
It will be interesting, I think SHY will be wishing, she had never started this ball rolling.

Your small sample could be right but there is no discounting the possibility that Senator Leyonhjelm had certain desires. The inner knowing of certain defeat may have been too much to bear. :roflmao:
 
It would appear, from this article on ABC's website, that Sarah will have plenty to do in her own Party regarding treating women properly. The accusations sound as serious as David Leyonhjelm's, if not more so.

It is always amazing, how when the ball starts rolling, it gathers speed quickly. It is good, that people can at least now, talk openly about the issues. It wasn't long ago that it was a taboo subject.

They will just close ranks like cults are apt to do.

Incredibly, the woman took a video after being initially disgusted. Women tend to be more (......) than men and it was an opportunity she couldn't miss. Like who would believe her at the work morning tea table without a go-pro to prove it. Hilarious.

Ms Buckland says she went to Mr Buckingham's Newtown home with another woman after Friday night drinks in August 2011.

When they arrived at the house, she says Mr Buckingham served more drinks.

"Quite quickly I realised that something was happening between this woman and Jeremy," Ms Buckland said.

"They were touching each other a lot, it was getting really flirtatious. I was really uncomfortable."

Ms Buckland said she stopped drinking and became so "disgusted" by Mr Buckingham's behaviour that she took a video.
