It was another own goal by the Prime Minister of this country when he failed to attend the National Press Club luncheon yesterday to hear the addresses by Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins. Apparently he was too busy. He's too busy to introduce an ICAC and he's too busy to take notice of the women of Australia. Well, we're watching, Mr Morrison, and everything you've done to date has been completely inadequate. Whether it's your tone-deafness to women, your inadequate apology or your failure to attend the National Press Club luncheon, women are watching and we will not be silenced. Good on Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins!
