Laws was a cunt in so many ways.
We had lunch at a table near him in the Hunter Valley 15 years or so ago. He was so rude to the (mainly female) staff even his guests were embarrassed. Revolting.

![On 19 March 2013, Laws interviewed a female listener, who described a history of sexual abuse between the ages of six and sixteen. 33) Laws proceeded to ask the woman if the abuse was in some way her fault and whether she had been provocative. 34) The following day Laws said on air that women who dressed provocatively were once viewed as "rape bait". 35)
In 2015, Laws referred to a male victim of child sexual assault as a "wet blanket" and told him to
"brighten up". [36]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a7gyr7nem6y3uxumh5kf5sox/bafkreiet3vqtknyea4b7mbmk6owjtsy36vc4n4o7a2pcmihvgue23wxumq@jpeg)

Gambling regulation in Aus is a national disgrace. The govt has ignored the Murphy Report & repeatedly blocked my bill to hold gambling giants accountable. If they won’t listen to evidence, experts or the crossbench, they should at least listen to the community. #auspol #politas
