Pauline Hanson slams “disgusting male-bashing” Greens, Moody
MEDIA RELEASE
Senator Pauline Hanson has described as disgusting comments by a well-known friend of the Greens that firefighters return home from fighting fires to commit acts of domestic violence.
Senator Hanson described the comments as “disgusting” and as “male bashing”, adding that it was “not good enough” for the Greens to promote such rhetoric.
“I’ve had a gutful of hearing from man-hating feminists,” Senator Hanson said.
“I believe in what’s fair and just, and I’m sick and tired of this bashing men in Australia, especially if you’re white.”
The angry response followed a tweet by commentator Sherele Moody that said: “What happens when the fire heroes go home? Some of them bash their partners.”
Ms Moody had sought the support of The Greens to table a petition in the Senate that called for Senator Hanson to be removed from the “Joint Select Committee on Reform of Australia’s Family Law System”.
“She wanted The Greens’ support to put a petition on the floor of parliament to stop me from being on the Family Law Inquiry that I got up for all Australians to have a say,” Senator Hanson explained.
“I’m sick and tired of hearing it, your feminist twisted views about it.
“I’m not going anywhere, so like it or lump it.”
Senator Hanson highlighted the Greens’ poor judgment, given their comments this week that the bushfires were caused by climate change and the major parties were “no better than arsonists” over their response to the issue.
“You can’t come out and make these nasty comments and think that it’s reflective of everyone out there,” Senator Hanson said.
“Especially at a time when there are people working their guts out to protect property, lives, pets and animals.
“And then to be accused of this from a woman who is obviously a man-hater, I’m not going to let it happen.
“It’s disgraceful, she cannot be serious. If she has a hatred of men out there, then she needs counselling.”
Ms Moody reportedly said at The Greens press conference: “After a cataclysmic event like this, domestic violence peaks”.
Senator Hanson replied: “It’s not good enough Larissa – you stood beside her during that interview.”
