Chair sniffers and breast nuzzlers
The West Oz meeja are going spacko over this Troy Buswell chair-sniffing scandal. But there's another related controversy that has received little attention yet has been brewing for a while.
That's the Alan Carpenter blouse-lifting and breast-nuzzling rumour. Here's Louise Pratt, the dippy feminist bimbo Carpenter allegedly nuzzled:
“I am a strong and empowered woman — not put upon easily. If anything inappropriate had happened I would have raised it with the Premier at the time.
“I do not condone women being harassed — including myself.”
"Strong and empowered." Yeah, suuure. You wouldn't dare not condone it, eh babe? He's your boss.
My guess is that this story will die pretty quickly according to this rule of hackdom: when a fluffy wuffy performs lewd jokes or actions it's invariably in the spirit of good fun. If a conservative does it, it has to be sexual harassment.
So, former journo Carpenter can count on much softer treatment from hacks, even though his regime is currently engaged in tin pot dictator style intimidation of them.
Gawd, but they're a pack of weasels.
