THE BITTER FALLOUT BETWEEN SENATORS DAVID LEYONHJELM AND SARAH HANSON-YOUNG
THURSDAY
* The upper house debates Queensland senator Fraser Anning's motion calling on governments to encourage women to carry tasers, pepper spray and mace to defend themselves from murderers and rapists.
* During the debate, Leyonhjelm tells Hanson-Young to "stop shagging men", which he says was in response to her saying something like "all men are rapists".
* Hanson-Young approaches Leyonhjelm, he confirms his comments. She calls him a creep and he tells her to f*** off.
* The motion is defeated 46-5, with Leyonhjelm among the minority support.
* Hanson-Young's calls for an apology are rejected by Leyonhjelm.
SUNDAY
* Leyonhjelm appears on Sky News and 3AW radio where he doubles down on his comments, before alluding to Hanson-Young's private life.
* Sky issues an apology for broadcasting the "appalling" comments and suspends a producer for strap-lining them.
MONDAY
* Senior Turnbull government ministers and Tony Abbott urge Leyonhjelm to apologise.
* Hanson-Young calls for Leyonhjelm to resign.
* Hanson-Young sends legal letters to Leyonhjelm, Sky News and 3AW and confirms she will take advice on whether his comments were defamatory.
* Leyonhjelm tells her to "bring it on".
* Leyonhjelm now can't remember the exact wording of Hanson-Young's parliamentary comments, but says they were along the lines of "men should stop raping women".
* Hanson-Young says any claim she said or inferred all men are rapists is a lie.
* "I said putting more tasers on the streets would not make women more safe from men".
* Leyonhjelm lists extraordinary conditions for an apology. He will only say sorry and "forgive" Hanson-Young if she declares men aren't collectively responsible for the actions of other men who commit violence and reverses her position on the weapons motion.
TUESDAY
* Hanson-Young accuses Leyonhjelm of "slut-shaming" her in an emotional radio interview.
* Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten call for Leyonhjelm to apologise, with both singling out his "offensive" language.
* Leyonhjelm denies "talking about boyfriends" is slut-shaming. He again refuses to apologise.
* Leyonhjelm calls the prime minister a "pussy". He says the issue is about misandry.
WEDNESDAY
* Leyonhjelm urges Turnbull to call out hatred against men and accuses Hanson-Young of being the worst offender of using unparliamentary language.
* Leyonhjelm says it's silly to suggest he has a problem with powerful women.
* Leyonhjelm insists that using abusive language is "normal Australian behaviour" which he does regardless of gender.
