Michaelia Cash makes 'outrageous slur' during questioning over staff

[@loriwilliams5381]

She really thinks she has him against the wall, but what I'm hearing is that she's been aware of inappropriate behavior and instead of reporting it or trying to stop it, she just held onto it to be used as leverage at a later date. If you are complicit with it, you are just as guilty.
