There can be no phrase more damaging and dangerous to the women of Australia than the phrase now regularly used (because of Bruce Lehrmann’s attempts to defend himself from rape claims) than the disgraceful words “non-violent rape”.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

This is $450,000 per term, per electorate. Plus interest on that money, let’s call it half a million. $75,000,000 per term of government for small re-election bribes.
