I’d no idea Senator Leyonhjelm, radically libertarian in matters of economics, had such a sense of humour. We are all aware Senator Hanson-Young has none.
“The Senate was debating a motion put forward by crossbencher Fraser Anning to relax importation restrictions on pepper sprays, to allow women to better protect themselves.
Leyonhjelm: “Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young interjected, saying something along the lines of all men being rapists, I responded by suggesting that if this was the case she should stop shagging men. I did not yell at her.”
He said he would not be withdrawing his remarks.
“I do not agree with Senator Hanson-Young’s sentiments about all men being rapists and I believe I have the right to voice my opinion accordingly, That Senator Hanson-Young took offence from my comments is an issue for her, not me. However, I am prepared to rephrase my comments – I strongly urge Senator Hanson-Young to continue shagging men as she pleases.”
