Senate motion moved to condemn Bettina Arndt comments

Labor will move a motion in the Senate to condemn comments made by controversial men's rights activist Bettina Arndt. Calls are growing across the aisle for Ms Arndt to be stripped of her Order of Australia after she praised comments made by Queensland Police Inspector Mark Thompson. Mr Thompson claimed a Brisbane man who killed his wife and three children may have been "driven too far" following the breakdown of his marriage. Ms Arndt took to Twitter to 'congratulate' the officer for "keeping an open mind". “Congratulations to the Queensland police for keeping an open mind and awaiting proper evidence, including the possibility that Rowan Baxter might have been “driven too far". But note the misplaced outrage. How dare police deviate from the feminist script of seeking excuses,” she said.
