Thank you very much.
It's really quite neat that you're here today, especially when you talked about politics and why women don't get into politics.
The reason I say this is that on my way here on the bus, we received a tweet. It was to Rona Ambrose; Rachel Harder, who's sitting beside me; and Karen Vecchio—myself. It's Diviya Lives Here, and it was this great program where there was a young girl in grade 10 who came to visit Parliament yesterday. This is the tweet from this really stellar fellow: “Haven't we had enough of girls running the gov already? I have.”
Now, the first thing is I wanted to do was to write back and say, “Hey, I'm studying about people like you,” because that's the way I would deal with it, but I recognize other people might be offended by it. Here in politics I think many of us learn to grow a thick skin.
What would you recommend as some of the key components to educate girls on how to spot misogyny in the media and take action against it? I know my approach is to go back with humour and say, “Hey, whatever, get lost”, and mute him. I muted him and I had to un-mute him so I could read this.
What are some of the things that you would say?
