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.
