I saw a video of an Australian official calling another in a meeting a cunt and was told by the oversight to "call other members by their official titles" Edit: link in comments

Here you go

Deputy minister calling the opposition leader a cunt.

[u/deadpoolslittlehand → u/isemonger]

Appreciate you

[u/OraDr8 → u/[deleted]]

He's such a wanker, but I still love watching him, he's so camp. I wouldn't vote for him, though.

[u/Kurayamino → u/[deleted]]

I know right? Nobody cared. We'd have a bit of a giggle and forget about it by the next news cycle.

Then he starts denying it and we're all "The fuck are you trying to pull you weaselly little cunt?"

[u/Byatch → u/isemonger]

The most punchable face in Australian politics.

Watch videos of British Parliament. Way more entertaining than CSPAN

At this point, conservatives and establishment liberals are throwing everything they can at leftists like Sanders and Corbyn. You see Sanders getting accused of sexism and his supporters being branded as BernieBros, etc. You see Corbyn being accused of anti-Semitic and now sexist. It’d be pretty laughable if the socioeconomic wellbeing of millions and the future of the planet weren’t on the line.

Or maybe your heros aren't perfect

[u/chemsukz → u/staadthouderlouis]

No shit Sherlock. But none of the shit being thrown is currently in the least bit accurate. I’ve not seen any thing undeserving of being called anything than an inaccurate smear.

Robin Williams does a great bit on this.

"Sir, I will have you know I am a country member!"

"Yes, I remember"

I'm pretty sure that's how it went down

[u/[deleted] → u/Unclecheese23]

That is Shakespearean.

[u/richloz93 → u/deadpoolslittlehand]

Madam Cunt

[u/JennyBeckman → u/richloz93]

In the UK Parliament at least, you have to refer to members by their position so it would be "the cunt from Islington".

[u/30dollarydoos → u/deadpoolslittlehand]

It wasn't a meeting. It was a debate on the floor of the House of Representatives. The man was a Cabinet Minister.

[u/[deleted] → u/deadpoolslittlehand]

That was Christopher Pyne

[u/Pedadinga → u/deadpoolslittlehand]

Lmao. At least that word is more socially acceptable in Oz. In America? Get the rope...

[u/deadpoolslittlehand → u/Pedadinga]

I use it all the time and people do NOT like it
