March 4 Justice organiser Janine Hendry’s decision not to meet with Prime Minister Scott Morrison “exposes the politics” behind the marches, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“When the allegations first broke that a young female staffer was raped inside parliament house, it was an issue that cut through in a way that few do,” Ms Credlin said.

“At the time, I knew this would hurt the government. The handling of Higgins then and now and the two years in between, has been a masterclass in what not to do”.

“I want to hope that the upcoming review into staff treatment at Parliament House brings about change but we all need to understand that today's marches around the country were more than just what goes on in Parliament House”.

“This is an issue that is now being used as an effective political weapon against the Morrison government.”

She noted the organisers of the March 4 Justice had initially accepted an invitation to meet with Scott Morrison but had then rejected the offer.

Janine Hendry “claims she is not playing politics," however Ms Credlin pointed to some of her recent “Twitter outbursts".

In one tweet from Ms Hendry, she says “it remains inconceivable that any woman who valued herself would even consider voting for the LNP,” while she has also used inflammatory hashtags.

Ms Credlin pointed out “only those that wanted to use this issue as a stunt” would refuse the prime minister’s invitation to speak in his office.

“Which is why Hendry's decision to reject the PM's offer exposes the politics behind these marches,” she said.

“I hope I am not the only person in the media who calls out Hendry's political attacks tonight but I doubt there will be many, and it doesn't diminish in any way my support for change.

“This is a moment in time, it's an issue for women, across the political divide, in the Parliament House building and outside it, and it’s an issue for women that's far too important to be used to score a political hit.”
