Fascinating. But I'm wondering where these women were on 15 March 2021?
@march4justiceau
the biggest rally for women ever seen in Aust? With 110k around the nation & 15,000 outside Parliament House. Where was this concern about women being bullied & harassed then?

who me? I'm not "menacing". I'm the Prime Minister. I have enormous respect for women. I have 2 daughters & a wonderful wife whom I respect enormously. Of course I listen to women. I always pay women in leadership the courtesy of respect. It's just the right, manly thing to do.
