You actually give me the opportunity to talk about a double standard that I've seen.
When I brought this up at the ethics committee, I was called a pearl-clutcher and labelled as being hysterical, and told that it was the price to pay for being a federally elected official.
Then earlier this month, a former Conservative MP testified and talked about the way he got harassed online, and he was called a hero by his Conservative colleagues.
It's disheartening that women who speak out—and I'm sure my friend and colleague here has had the same experience—are called pearl-clutchers. Sean Fraser has told me he doesn't experience anything near to what I've experienced online since I first got elected.
There is a difference in the way that women and men are treated, and how they respond to the type of comments and abuse we get.
