    Hey, idea: let's constantly complain about the poor quality of people who enter politics. But let's ALSO savage @JAforBennelong for making a shitty joke 15 years before entering politics. FFS.

        But none of the men I know made jokes like this. And they are his contemporaries. Rape was never funny.

        Sure, but it's not as if it's a schoolyard prank either, can't wait for the "Salim Mehajer MP" pushhttps://twitter.com/clerehan/status/933558444203720704 …

        Poor John Alexander. How could he have known at just 44 years of age that making jokes about rape was wrong.

        If your judgement on appropriate jokes hasn’t matured at age 44, I suggest it hasn’t changed much in 20 years since.

        Until women like @JaneCaro & @clementine_ford & @violencehurts agree it was just a shitty joke about rape, I'm going to believe he is unacceptable to represent the seat of Bennelong because he is a fucking disgrace if thats OK? #rapeisntfunny #BennelongVotes #auspol @KKeneally

        I imagine you think that someone who makes a joke about rape at any time is a worthy representative? If not, what is the time limit? 5 years? 10?

        To be fair if we are setting the high bar of quality at @JAforBennelong then we are in trouble. He has done nothing since being elected.

        Yes we should just all shut up and not criticise people for acting like douchebags - silence is always the best way to deal with bullshit.

        Also, the LNP started this campaign in the gutter of personal attacks. They can’t complain now the tactic has turned in their guy.

        Savage? I don’t think there was a Savage in Gladiators. Perhaps you’re thinking of the upcoming It’s A Knockout featuring @Barnaby_Joyce?
