We’ve all heard the objections. No uterus, no opinion. Well, Nationals Senator Barry O’Sullivan has just clobbered the Left with their own stick. O’Sullivan told parliament he now identifies as a woman so that he would no longer be attacked for his opposition to abortion.

“They attacked me for my religious basis the other day… because I had the audacity to raise issues around late-term abortion where babies that are only minutes away from getting a smack on the arse and a name are being aborted under the policies of the Australian Greens,” O’Sullivan said.

“I will not stand silent. I will not stand mute while these people continue to try to marginalise policies and ideas that we want to discuss for this nation that I think are largely supported by the majority of the nation…

“I am going to declare my gender today, as I can, to be a woman and then you’ll no longer be able to attack me,” O’Sullivan said.
