His organisation is in the midst of yet another internet sex scandal but the Chief of Army, Lieutenant-General David Morrison, has emerged as the unlikely poster boy for feminism.
Following revelations of further “demeaning, explicit and profane” behaviour by his army members, the tough-talking army chief released a powerful video message on Thursday night telling defence members who degrade women: “We don’t want you.”
The three-minute “smack down” has earned him the tag of “feminist hero” on social media and even suggestions that he should run for prime minister.
The following are all from Tony Abbott, who will almost definitely be the next Australian prime minister. The sources are also included as I know The Sharp Single is proper journalism innit.
‘The problem with the Australian practice of abortion is that an objectively
grave matter has been reduced to a question of the mother’s convenience.’
‘I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even
approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because
their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological
reasons’
‘I think there does need to be give and take on both sides, and this idea
that sex is kind of a woman’s right to absolutely withhold, just as the idea
that sex is a man’s right to demand I think they are both they both need to
be moderated, so to speak’
‘What the housewives of Australia need to understand as they do the ironing
is that if they get it done commercially it’s going to go up in price and
their own power bills when they switch the iron on are going to go up, every
year.’
