BREAKING The head of Australia's peak body for travel agents has resigned after saying ACA host Tracy Grimshaw 'needs to be given a firm uppercut or a slap across the face'

have reported extensively on travel agents charging exorbitant cancellation fees as trips have been cancelled due to restrictions implemented to combat the spread of COVID-19."I've probably heard worse stuff than that in my life, and I'm not the type to be in the foetal position in the corner when things like that get said, but at the same time it doesn't slide these days," she said on radio station 3AW.

"At a time when the travel agency community is hurting beyond words, beyond the contemplation of Hamlet, it would be wrong of me to say any other word than to charge," he wrote.

What an idiot. How long does it take for some men to understand that it is not acceptable to speak to or about women like that. A Neanderthal could learn that lesson faster.

good

Really loosing your job over that. He was wrong but please

But she is a muck slinger. Just go back over the years and see the amount of gutter journalism she’s been involved in... how many people she’s dragged through the mud for some ratings. Hard to feel pity

Free speech huh?

It's Austalia! Still treating women like concubines.😒

He nailed it ..truth hurts Tracy what about the young girl ACA attacked ...she committed suicide because of your ACA

He should be shown as being sacked.

Not surprised. What an idiot.

A person can use the word FCUK on television or radio and nothing happens - someone can threaten someone on television or radio and nothing happens But use a metaphor to describe the media’s attack on members in a private session and you get sacked Huh, go figure Free Speech

😂 the number of resignations lately

good!

you can kill some1 in australia as long as you siad it the right way.....

👍🏻

What a tool

FatherBob Travel agents CEO made his violent misogynistic statement to agents days ago in a webinar, and it went online. Yet agents did nothing, until a recording of the words was aired on radio and there was threat of airing on tv. Why? They didnt care? Please ask,

What an arse. Imagine thinking this about another person let alone being stupid enough to say it.

Don't slam the door on your way out. Good riddance.

Good riddance

Good.

I think Gordon Ramsay called her a fat lesbian and he seems to have gone on to be a world wide success. The media are the lowest, least trusted profession, they make up stories and tell lies but can’t take it back - sooks

Totally out of line

'Breaking Jayson Westbury, violent man, and misogynist, resigns after directing threatening and violent language towards Tracey Grimshaw.' Jayson Westbury should have been sacked, so, who was too gutless to sack him? fixedit MVAW EndVAWG

Pity it wasn’t Grimshaw the old hag resigning

good

Serves you right.

Of course he was talking metaphorically. If he'd said it to a bloke we'd not even hear of it. Women say 'I could kill you' but we don't jai theml or force them to resign or divorce them. Quit treating women as snowflakes - in the long run the victim appraoch does no one any good.

heidimur Good

Did Jones write his script?

I can't believe a 'man' in his position would be so stupid to utter something so abhorrent and inappropriate.

I remain astounded as to how a man evidently lacking the most basic skills in tact and articulation can even attain such a position of seniority

A little rib tickler would have been more appropriate wording.

Well she kinda does but you’d break your wrist.

Excellent

So he should.

Good.

It's certainly not words that should come out of the mouth of Australia's peak body for travel agents

Pig!

Pleased he resigned. What a revolting violent female-bashing comment to make. There was no chance he was taken out of context.

She is a mole.

This is ridiculous

Bye.

He should have been sacked.

He could choose to attend anger management counseling, which might help.

what a cretin

Good.

His penis reported him for D.V

Ping NeilMcMahon

Good.

to be fair he thought he was interviewing for Alan Jones radio spot

Lol. Welp.
