|May 29, 2025
A Muslim lawmaker in Australia said Wednesday that she has complained to a parliamentary watchdog after a male colleague allegedly urged her to drink wine and “dance on the table”.
-
Senator Fatima Payman — who said she does not drink alcohol — claimed the older colleague made a series of inappropriate remarks after he “had too many drinks” at an official function.
He said: “Let's get some wine into you and see you dance on the table,” Payman, 30, told national broadcaster ABC.
“I told this colleague, ‘Hey I'm drawing a line mate’, and moved on to making a formal complaint,” she said.
It was not clear when the alleged incident occurred or who the colleague was.

50-year mortgages won’t fix the affordability crisis
Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, recently floated the idea of offering people a 50-year mortgage instead of the more conventional 30-year financing option. it sounds attractive at first because stretching out repaying of a mortgage would lower the borrower's monthly payment, but this wouldn't fix the homeownership affordability crisis.
