Surprising I guess, but the votes in. You don’t get to sit around doing a lot of talking but little else.
You have done nothing on IR or superannuation, nothing on GST reform, nothing big on company tax reform, no target for emissions reduction beyond 2030, business leaders feel there is no agenda,” Sales responded.The interview turned even more heated when the topic turned to emissions reductions.
Frankly it wasn’t a big deal.
Picture: ABC.ABC journalist Leigh Sales has shared a shocking insight into the sickening abuse she receives whenever she interviews Scott Morrison.Sales said they were just “a fraction of the sexualised abuse” that is commonly hurled at her whenever Mr Morrison is a guest.It’s a disturbing trend that has occurred long before he was in the top job, she indicated.Leigh Sales shared this small sample of the sickening abuse she copped this week – and says it happens all the time.Sales, arguably the most respected broadcaster in Australia, was called a “rude b*tch” by one Twitter user, a “lefty POS … covorting (sic) wh*re” by another, and someone who is “in desperate need of a vibrator” by a third.Ironically, in that sample, she was attacked for being both too soft and too hard on Mr Morrison, with one user remarking that “she pretty much sits on his lap whenever she ‘interviews’ him”.The Walkley Award-winning journalist, also a best-selling author, regularly cops criticism as well as horrific slurs.In April, Sales interviewed former PM Malcolm Turnbull about his blockbuster memoir and received a similar slew of disgusting remarks.One user said it was “almost pornographic”, another asked “how long has (Turnbull) been rooting you?” and a third called her a “wh*re”.Leigh Sales is one of the country’s most respected broadcast journalists. “As I sometimes do to keep a spotlight on this, I just spent a few minutes collecting a fraction of the sexualised abuse I get every time I interview a Prime Minister,” Sales wrote today.“Female politicians, journalists, public figures get this non-stop.”Her post has since generated an outpouring of support from viewers and journalists.Shameful. Sales asked.Morrison told her he wasn't going to agree to a target if he couldn't look Australians in the eye and tell them how it was going to be achieved.There is no strong, resilient Australia without deep cuts to greenhouse gas emissions.An open letter from scientists on why human-caused climate change is increasing bushfire risk in Australia, and a call to our leaders to take strong climate action.Sales then went on to tackle the sports grants scandal, which resulted in the journalist and politician constantly interrupting each other.The government is accused of ignoring recommendations and doling out $100 million in funding to projects in electorates it needed to win at the last election. LEIGH SALES: I am not interested in what the Labor leader has got to say. But this is the type of thing many women in public life get.
"I have disclosed the issues you have referred to. Disagree, debate but be respectful. "I don’t accept the assertion you are putting to me. Everyone should call these people out and report them.Leigh, this is disgusting. I'm very sorry you and other women in the public eye are subjected to this abuse.
