The Age‘s Catherine Deveny was in fine form this morning:
Sam Newman insults and undermines women once again. Not news, I know … Liberal politician Troy Buswell has previously admitted to snapping a Labor staffer’s bra strap and been accused of making sexist remarks to another female MP. Last week he ‘fessed up to sniffing a female colleague’s chair in a room full of people. Josef Fritzl kept his daughter locked in a dungeon for 24 years, raping her repeatedly and fathering her seven children. Oh, and Kate Ritchie wins Australian television’s highest award for being popular. Dull, unthreatening, uninspiring, but popular.
Quite the week for women.
