Watch: Australian MP Nicolle Flint wears a garbage bag to call out sexist comments she’s faced

‘So, Mr (Peter) Goers, what I want to know is, what should a woman in politics wear? How about a garbage bag to match your rubbish views?’

Sick of sexist garbage?

I am, which is why I’m calling out @abcadelaide’s Peter Goers rubbish views about my appearance, published in yesterday's @theTiser Sunday Mail.

It’s time women in public life are judged on what they stand for, not what they look like. #GarbagelikeGoers pic.twitter.com/tk9DRyM0nN
