The
politician who this week called Network Ten’s Angela Bishop a “bigoted bitch”
on air and last week implied during the Sky News "Outsiders" program that Senator Sarah Hanson-Young had multiple partners, then added that "she has a right to shag as many men as she likes" and, now appears to have posted that film clip online.
It may be a little too hard for the Senate President to admit that this self-described political "alpha male" has gone completely off the rails or for the mainstream media to resist allowing him air time to defame, insult and incite at will, however the Australian Medical Association is made of sterner stuff.
Rowan Dean off medical
journal board.
The Medical Journal of
Australia has distanced itself from Sky News presenter Rowan Dean, who was
hosting Senator David Leyonhjelm on his Sunday program to repeat abuse of
Senator Sarah Hanson-Young.
Dean, until Saturday,
was on the board of AMPCo, the publishing arm of the Australian Medical
Association which publishes the MJA. His term ended on June 30, and an MJA
spokeswoman told Crikey the journal had been receiving questions
about its relationship with Dean after the Sky News segment became news.
NOTE: Senator Leyonhjelm is also a man who as a crucial crossbench senator repeatedly voted in support of Adani in Parliament while owning a corporate bond issued by the group's Abbot Point coal terminal.
