Saturday 21 May 2022 01:28 PM Australia election results 2022: Jane Hume 'shove it up your jumper' to Simon ... trends now
A Liberal Party senator has told the multi millionaire puppet master financing the 'Teal Independents' to 'shove it up your jumper' in a heated and awkward on-air exchange.
Jane Hume was part of Chanel Nine's star-studded election coverage when the network crossed to Simon Holmes a Court who was celebrating the success of his environmentally-conscious candidates.
The network of Independents snatched up at least two seats and gained major swings across the country in a stunning campaign that will make Mr Holmes a Court one of the most powerful people in Australia.
When asked if the Climate 200 convener had any regrets about the 'nasty' campaign which saw an ugly standoff between Mr Holmes a Court and Ms Hume in Melbourne earlier this week, he called the senator a liar.
'Jane has for a long time spread lies and mistruths about me,' he said.
'I have asked her to withdraw and she won't. I asked her in public forum and that probably wasn't the place to do it, but I'm looking forward to that retraction of lies from Jane Hume.'
He was once again asked if he had any regrets about the hard-fought campaign
'Those who have seen the full video will know what really went on. As I said to Jane I have gave my apology that I think that wasn't an appropriate place for it,' he said.
'But I hope we can get a resolution and that she can withdraw those lies as we come out of this election.'
Ms Hume said the answer sounded like a 'a sorry, not sorry'.
'If you see the full video you'll see it was a set up. It was pretty disgraceful behaviour. I hope it takes some paint off your celebrations tonight.'
Mr Holmes a Court chimed in once again saying: 'Looking forward to getting your full apology,' he said.
'Stick it up your jumper,' Ms Hume replied.
The pair were embroiled in a fiery stoush on Thursday with a Liberal frontbencher - as Treasurer Josh Frydenberg filmed it all on his mobile phone.
