Liberal leader Peter Dutton says senator David Van should quit parliament, after a spate of accusations begin to make the halls of Parliament look less safe than a bikie clubhouse.
Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe says she felt demonised after speaking to the senate about her experiences in parliament, blowing the whistle on the inappropriate behaviour of a seemingly protected Liberal Party politician.
It is unknown whether or not Peter Dutton had any fucken ears of eyeballs since his election into Parliament in 2001, but he’s had to move very quickly after apparently only just finding out about a sleazy colleague that everyone else seemed to know about.
However, Thorpe’s claims have been backed up by several other accusations that have come to light in the 48 hours since, providing the nation with a good insight into why she probably felt more comfortable around outlaw motorcycle enthusiasts than blue-blooded conservative politicians.
These additional allegations are infuriating both the Liberal Party and the Murdoch Media, who were hoping to just write off the initial accusation as another ‘Lidia Moment’ – and instead focus their energy on destroying the career of Labor Senator Katie Gallagher with bizarre and over-reaching muckraking that appears to be bordering on post-truth conspiracy.
However, it seems the news cycle has moved on from whatever punch the Opposition thought they had landed last week, and in an even weirder turn of events – it looks as if the Aboriginal woman who has claimed to have been assaulted by a powerful Liberal Senator is to be believed.
Unfortunately this was only the case after several other women, that the media find more palatable, came forward to allege a pattern of behaviour – one that also appears to have been widely known about within the party.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton says senator David Van should quit parliament, after revealing that he is now aware of allegations made against the senator by a THIRD person, which has caused him to pull the trigger on expelling the Victorian from the Liberal party room.
As the toxic workplace culture of Federal Politics continues to be exposed, Australian voters are wondering whether or not sending some fucken bikies into Canberra might actually clean the place up a little.
