Parliament House sexual assault and harassment allegations

[watt price tully]

Wow, a liberal male staffer gets called out in Tasmanian parliament under Parliamentary privilege by the Leader of the Tasmanian Greens from what he said a few years ago when he worked under the retired liberal state premier the p*ick Will Hodgeman.

This liberal charmer was working until recently as a Liberal Party staffer and has now resigned. I suppose calling someone a “Meth head Cnut” didn’t assist his future career

I’m not a member of any party however I am impressed by the NSW Bar association as noted here:

https://www.lawyersweekly.com.au/biglaw ... oversy/amp

And here about his integrity to hold office

And the astute Katherine Murphy who links Gleeson

His defamation action has put a temporary stop to this but it won’t go away although I think he will go away (a lot richer) in my opinion.

Further the reference to Nick McKenzie by Media Watch was not a reference to an excellent ABC journalist. Nick McKenzie is a highly decorated as it were Age investigative journalist now taken over by the Nine network.

Due to horrendous cuts by successive liberal governments the cuts to the ABC have resulted in more co - investigative journalism pieces such as the one noted (and importing shows from overseas). To be clear Nick McKenzie got stuck right into the twice elected Premier of Victoria during the pandemic. He is not an employee of the ABC but has done work for them in coproductions or though single contracts I believe.

He was famous as it were for exposing the Adem Somurek Branch Stacking in the ALP. A Walkley award winner and a lawyer having completed a Juris Doctor course:

The highly impressive Nick McKenzie:

Yes, these people all want their 5 minutes of fame.
They could also have added that disciplinary inquiries are normally preceded by a complaint being made, followed by the complaint being put to the alleged perpetrator with a request for a response. In the case of a complaint of this nature against a lawyer if the response was “I did not do it” that would be the end of the matter. You can take that to the bank.

I think Porter rather than me will be taking it to the bank: but I’m more deserving and I certainly didn’t rape the poor woman. That certainty is questioned in my view with Porter.

So speaking the truth about a greens mp now gets you sacked from your job?

Yet in Victoria abusing and threatening female ministers by Andrew’s closest friends gets the minister sacked instead and a nice payday for his mate.

It could never be acceptable to refer to the leader of a political party as a "meth-head c***". That's so far beyond the boundaries of any sensible political discourse that it beggars belief.

Interesting that:

1. He’d never met her
2. It was corroborated by at least two people
3. It was denied by the said Liberal Party staffer at the time
4. #3 above was used as denial and no further action by the Scumbag’s Hodgmans office at the time
5. Hodgman allegedly held an internal investigation and concluded “he said/she said” & no further action was then taken
6. Even the extreme right winger Michael Sukkar made sure this toxic male was forced to resign.
7. Women pollies are finding their voice and the Women’s March is a line in the sand moment.

You say that sitting in Melbourne.
Isn't that a common form of greeting in Tasmania?

It's a common form of greeting just blocks from where he lives, it's also accurate.

It does beggar belief,but it’s typical of how some people roll here.Sometimes when you come to this thread it’s like taking a trip through a time machine back to the 1950’s or beyond.

You do realise though don't you that the comment wasn't made here by a member of this board - it was made in Hobart by a political gofer?
