Brilliant and brave @NualaMcAllister It is never ever wrong to stand for what is right. Right behind you missus Disappointed at the reaction, head shaking dismissively from others in the chamber… Misogyny on full display. #RespectWomen

He “shushed” her with patronising hand gestures: both dismissive and unprofessional.
Every point of order/intervention requires an MLA to interrupt by convention: however, while @NualaMcAllister‘s PofO was legitimate, Steve’s reaction was not.
Challenging it isn’t a “tantrum”. https://t.co/4fI62WKA15
