Last week, Senator David Leyonhjelm told his colleague Senator Sarah Hanson-Young to “stop shagging men” and “f--k off” in the middle of a debate around -- of all things -- violence against women. Then he called a Channel 10 reporter a “bigoted bitch” when she reported on his brutish sexism!

This is an arrogant, shameful display from a political figure, an embarrassment for the country, and an insult to all Australian women! Behaviour like this simply cannot and will not be tolerated.


There’s a growing chorus demanding his apology, but it’s not enough -- Senator Leyonhjelm must be swiftly condemned for his sexist ideology. Add your name to demand his resignation, then share EVERYWHERE to help our call go viral across the country! When we reach 50,000 signers, we’ll publish our call in the Canberra Times:


To Senator David Leyonhjelm,

Your abusive and sexist comments against your colleague Senator Hanson-Young are against the very spirit of gender equality that our country is committed to, and do not reflect our Australian values. An apology is not enough -- your persistent anti-woman rhetoric has shown you’re not fit to represent us, and we call on you to resign.
