  • Senator David Leyonhjelm grills public servants and government departments about how they spend (and often waste) your tax dollars. Here, he asks why the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet spent $29,700 of taxpayers money to get a stamp from White Ribbon Australia, which simply says they are an “accredited White Ribbon Workplace”.

    I'm not Australian but whoever the man is who is asking the questions, for the sake of your country, he cannot be allowed to retire under any circumstances.

    How do these weasels keep their jobs? If I gave my boss answers like this I'd be sacked.

    I love the way they are squirming with these questions. There are NO support services for male victims, the woman just lied.

    "Questions about services for men can be directed to the Office for Women", said with a straight face.

    This man is a legend... he makes these career bureaucrats look like the clowns that they are while maintaining completely calm and respectful.

    White ribbon is a great organization. I mean, how else would I know not to punch my wife in the face.

    I am on a roll watching his videos. He never interrupts, understands the response and yet calmly wrecks them.

    "the issue of violence against men. And questions about the specifics of those can be directed to the office for women" PRICELESS

    I love this. He is calmly exposing how ideologically driven their department is.

    they seem so unprepared for the questioning, like they didnt know they were going to be asked why they gave 25k to a charity for a stamp of approval

    I work hard (and suffer emotionally) to earn the money that the Government then takes from me in taxes. I do not look favorably on my money then being thrown at some random organisation in order to get a meaningless and valueless “stamp”. Stop wasting my money!

    8.10 She said "Direct your enquires about violence against men to the "Office for Women". I rang, they told me to go away.

    This is absolutely excruciating to watch and to think these women would be on 100k plus just adds to the absurdity. They are not thinkers just parrots furthering their feminist group think.
