I referred to the sexist abuse of female politicians.
Comment on this
I agree with what the Senator said about the sexual abuse of female politicians. It is absolutely dreadful that people can go online and say whatever they want. Someone has to be held responsible. In addition to the people who make these utterances, those who run the websites must be held responsible. I will certainly try to have a further debate on the matter in early course.
