"Bill Shorten insists Malcolm Turnbull can no longer avoid an inquiry into the banks, as a government backbencher predicts lower house MPs will cross the floor to establish one.

Queensland LNP senator Barry O'Sullivan says up to four MPs are considering voting against the government in the House of Representatives to support his private bill for a commission of inquiry.

"They show an almost autistic disregard for prudential regulation and law, and it's time for these people to have their day in court," Senator O'Sullivan told ABC radio on Monday."

I've sent him an email expressing my disgust. If anyone would like to do the same, his email is senator.o'[email protected] :evil: :evil: :evil:

The moment you mention LNP you really don't have to say anymore. The National party are made up of homophobic, racist, anti-green and anti-disability members...

The guy is already scum even before he blurted the slur

well stereotypical autistic children aren't exactly known for being quiet, calm and orderly.

It would appear calling somebody autistic is like using the r-word...doesn't seem to invoke any disciplinary action?

Now that's just rude and what does that even mean almost autistic I this guy's trying to imply that individuals with autism can't understand rules which is not true and this guy has no understanding of such rules but using the word autistic in such a Manor is just ignorant not to mention disrespectful to the austitic community
