You've got to know, to understand,
Baby, take me by my hand,
I'll lead you to the promised land.
STUDIO 10 host Angela Bishop confronted David Leyonhjelm on live television over a sexist slur he tweeted at her last week.

When the Liberal Democratic Party Senator appeared on the program this morning, she said: “Senator, you said that you made those remarks because (Sarah Hanson-Young) was guilty of misandry. I am not a misandrist. Why did you call me a b**ch?” she asked.

“Because you were being bigoted,” he responded. “Joe was trying to explain to you the context in which I made that statement, and you cut him off. The definition of bigotry is not listening to any other view. That is what I was trying to say.”

Fellow host Hugh Riminton jumped in, arguing: “But if you think she’s a bigot, why not call her a bigot? Why call her a b**ch? Real men don’t call women b**ches.”

“Oh. You’ve had a sheltered life,” the Senator replied. “Women call each other b**ches.

“I mix with normal Australians all the time, and don’t think there is anything wrong with … calling somebody a b**ch or a b**tard. Calling somebody a pussy, I don’t see anything wrong with it.”

Ms Bishop went on to ask if he was using his “moment in the limelight” as a way of getting re-elected.

“It wasn’t part of a plan. Remember it was Sarah who stood up in the Senate, making it public what was an interchange between us.

“I don’t want to shut Sarah down. In fact in many ways it’s the gift that keeps on giving. I’m not resiling from the principles I’m raising. Free speech is important. But so is calling out sexism, so is misandry.”

“I wasn’t guilty of misandry!” she fired back. “I defended your right to prosecute your argument. I just took issue with the language you used. So why call me a b**ch?”

“Oh OK, alright,” he responded. “So if you took offence at that, I’m sorry you took offence at that.”

When fellow host Sarah Harris asked him to clarify if that was an apology, he said: “Well, to the extent that Angela has said to me she was deliberately not being a misandrist. She was being bigoted — I’m saying that, you were being a bigot, you were cutting off Joe from explaining to you the context in which I made those comments in the Senate.”

“Do you admit that calling her a b**ch was wrong?”

“Oh no, no no,” he said, to gasps from the audience.

“So you’re not apologising?”

“No. What I am saying is I’m sorry she’s taken offence.”

“Not quite an apology,” Harris said, before they moved on.

After the segment, veteran Ten host Sandra Sully tweeted that Mr Leyonhjelm did apologise to Ms Bishop when he was off camera.

"It wasn't sexist abuse, it was just abuse." - That should help in the defamation case. What lawyer would be dumb enough to take on this brief? Or perhaps he would like to defend himself so he can personally "cross examine" SHY.

Should the subs go East or West? Why not both? For a serious long range strategic decision our highly respected generals and admirals sure don't seem to have a good grip on the situation.

"Two ocean policy"

The reason the base was isolated in the first place is due to operational shortfalls. The size of the capital investment to enable a true "Two ocean policy" is so enormous I haven't even seen a credible estimate.

That wraps it then, he's just pining for attention and assuming SHY will drop the case.

And is handing out free plastic bags really one of the things taxpayers are giving the ABC funding to do?

Yeah in comparison to America or Europe maybe we don't contribute much in the grand scheme of things, but on a per-capita basis we're one of the worst (iirc we were the worst but I can't be bothered substantiating that).

Also the cost of abating emission is really a lot less expensive than building loving sea walls, deslainating water and rebuilding entire towns each time a bushfire razes it to the ground.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Senator David Leyonhjelm has said he tells people they're "bastards" or "bitches" irrespective of gender, denying he targets women.
The Liberal Democrats politician has been roundly condemned for sexual taunts aimed at Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young.
He has previously used offensive language towards Tony Abbott's former chief of staff Peta Credlin and Network Ten journalist Angela Bishop.
But Senator Leyonhjelm denied it was "sexist abuse".
"It's just abuse," he told RN Breakfast.

"It is a normal Australian behaviour.

"I am a normal Australian, I am elected by normal Australians, normal Australians call people bitches, bastards, shut up, various things of that nature.
"I don't discriminate between men and women."
