Abbott Government is so arrogant that its Minister for Education called the Leader of the Opposition a c*nt while the House of Representatives was sitting



Liberal MP and Minister for Education Christopher Pyne: You’re such a c*nt
Leader of the Opposition Bill Shorten Shorten: Madame Speaker!
The SPEAKER: The minister will refer to people by their correct titles.
Christopher Pyne: I will, Madam Speaker. I withdraw….

As one has come to expect these days, the Hansard record for 14 May 2014 does not record the expletive laden remark even though both The Speaker, Liberal MP Bronwyn Bishop, and Leader of the Opposition, Bill Shorten, clearly heard that remark – as did the rest of Australia:

Mr Shorten: Madame Speaker!
The SPEAKER: The minister will refer to people by their correct titles.
Mr PYNE: I will. I withdraw….
