Chords for Karen Jacobsen - Better Standard Than This (Official Music Video)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you very much, Deputy [Ab] Speaker, and I rise to [Eb] oppose the motion moved by the Leader
of the Opposition.
_ _ And in so doing, I say to the Leader of the Opposition, I will not be lectured about [Bb] sexism
and [Eb] misogyny by this man.
I will not, _ [Db] and the Governor will not be lectured [Ab] about [Bb] sexism and [Eb] misogyny by this man.
Not now, not ever.
The Leader of [Db] the Opposition says [Ab] that people [Bb] who hold sexist [Eb] views and who are misogynists
are not appropriate for high office.
[Db] Well, I hope the Leader of the Opposition [Ab] has got a piece of [Bb] paper and he is writing
out [Eb] his resignation. _
Because _ _ _ [B] if he wants [Gb] to know [Fm] what [Eb] misogyny looks like in modern _
[C] _ [Ab] Australia, [B] he doesn't
[Gb] need a motion [Fm] in the House of [Eb] Representatives.
[Ab] He needs a mirror. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] That's what [Eb] he needs.
Let's go through the Opposition Leader's repulsive double [Ab] standards, repulsive [Bb] double
standards [Eb] when it comes to misogyny and sexism.
[Gm] Oh, you're not [Eb] supposed to take seriously that the Leader of the Opposition is offended
by Mr.
[Ab] Slipper's text [Bb] messages.
[Eb] When this is the Leader of the Opposition who has said, and this [Db] was when he was a minister
under [Ab] the last government, [Bb] not when [Eb] he was a student, not when he was in high school,
[Db] when he was a minister under [Ab] the last government, [Bb] he [Eb] has said, and I quote, _ in a discussion
about women being [Ab] underrepresented in [Bb] institutions of power [Eb] in Australia, the interviewer was
a man called Stavros.
[Db] The Leader of the Opposition [Ab] says, if it's true, [Bb] Stavros, that men have [Eb] more power, generally
speaking, than women, is that a bad thing?
[Db] And then a discussion ensues and another [Ab] person being interviewed [Bb] says, I [Eb] want my daughter
to have as much opportunity as my son, to [Db] which the Leader of the Opposition [Ab] says, yeah,
[Bb] I completely [Eb] [Ab] agree. _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] But what [Gb] if men [Fm] are, by [Eb] physiology [Ab] _ _ or _ _ temperament, [B] [Gb] more adapted [Fm] to [Eb] exercise _ [Ab] _ _ _
authority or to [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] issue cuts?
[Eb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ And [B] then ensues [Gb] another discussion [Fm] about [Eb] women's roles [Ab] in modern _ society.
_ [B] And the other [Gb] person participating [Fm] in the [Eb] discussion says, I [Ab] think it's very hard to
deny that there is an _ _ _
[F] _ [Bb] underrepresentation of [Eb] women, _ _ _
[F] _ _ to [Db] which the Leader of the Opposition
says, [Ab] but now there's an [Bb] assumption that this is a [Eb] bad thing. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] I was [Db] offended too by the sexism, [Eb] by the misogyny of the Leader of the Opposition, [B] Cat.
Come _ _
[Gb] across _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ this [Db] table at me as I sit here [Eb] as Prime Minister, if the Prime [B] Minister _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] [Db] wants to politically [Ebm] _ speaking, [B] make an [Db] honest [Ebm] woman of [E] her say.
But _ _ _
_ _ [B] never have [Gb] _ _
been [Db] said _ to any man sitting [Eb] in this chair. _ _ _
I doesn't turn a [Gb] hair about any of [Eb] his last statements, [Ab] doesn't walk into this
Parliament _ _ [Gb] _ and [Eb] apologize to [Ab] the women of _ Australia.
Doesn't walk into this _ Parliament, _ [B] _ [Gb] _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] apologize _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] to _ _ [Eb] me. _ _ _
This Parliament today should reject this motion and the Leader of the [Bb] Opposition should [Eb] think
_ [Ab] [Eb] seriously _ about the [Db] role of women [Ab] in _ _
[Bb] public [Eb] life and in Australian society.
And I'm not going to be silly [Db] because we are _ [Ebm]
entitled _ [Db] _ _ _ to _ _ [Ab] a better _ standard [Bb] _ [Eb] than this. _ _ _ _
