The interviews are with Linda Burney (Labor, Wiradjuri) and Ken Wyatt (Liberal, Yamatji, Wongi, Noongar). #Insiders

double donuts in Victoria and hope on vaccine (a fact and a speculation); and “damning” judgement on treatment of women - by unnamed persons. #Insiders

treatment of women by actual Liberal Party males does get a mention - after the obligatory bothsidesing of the citing policy aspirations of the member for Hunter #Insiders

the montage features Morrison’s mansplaining on the bonk ban, a phrase which apparently offends him more than misogyny #Insiders

we even get a clip of Joel Nobody. And briefly of Ed Husic. And The DPM, reciting his usual hokey nonsense, also a nobody. #Insiders

heh Speers is struggling to fluently Square the circle on “endless debate on treatment of women” and “Fitzgibbon provided a get out of jail free card” - because he can’t. #Insiders

going first to Gabi Chan. She says discussion of treatment of women is inevitable. Politics can not revert to the “gentlemen’s agreement” of not reporting on how males in Canberra treat women. #Insiders

Speers asks if it is public interest to report on [how badly male politicians treat women]. Maiden says the bonk ban weaponises office sex [paraphrased], points to Campion (rehabilitated via the murdoch press), says common sense among middle aged men is in short supply #Insiders

quite a long audio clip of Porter stumbling over a radio interview question about having sex with staffers. He married an intern who was 20 when she arrived in his office. His fauxpology for saying all female lawyers are [sex workers] is next up. #Insiders

Maiden says criticism of sexism is laughed off and wrongly compares this to when people say [offensive] things about “Indigenous Australians”. A lengthy comparison to Emma Husar, journos camped outside her home etc. Unusual, says Maiden. Double standard #Insiders
