South Australian Liberal Nicolle Flint caused a stir on social media at the end of last month when she released a scathing video denouncing the sexist critique of her electorate newsletter by a long-serving ABC announcer. In a newspaper column Peter Goers, the occupant of the evenings slot on ABC Radio across South Australia, attacked the Boothby MP for wearing pearls and having a pearly smile, an array of different coloured blazers; and, most ridiculously, for wearing black pants which expose her ankles, rather than discussing her political views or contributing meaningful discussion to the national political debate.
