And, Information Minister, Senator Sandrea Falconer, has criticized Mr. Warmington for his conduct.
Writing on Facebook, she says, “it’s time Mr Warmington realizes that his boorish behavior is getting old. Physical or verbal violence is unacceptable and even more so when it is directed towards a young female by an MP.”
Former President of the PSOJ, Chris Zacca tweeted, “Sigh….I am so tired of unpunished crass antisocial behavior by some of our leaders, isn’t that an assault?”
