Australia: PM: Neal's treatment not sexist

Story here. Excerpt:

"PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd says a Labor backbencher is wrong to suggest sexism is behind the way MP Belinda Neal has been treated.

Mr Rudd spoke to Ms Neal yesterday and she agreed to undergo anger management counselling after allegations about confrontations in a bar and on the sports field.

Julia Irwin, the Labor MP for the Sydney seat of Fowler, asked whether Ms Neal's gender was an issue in her treatment.

"Why is it that women are singled out by reporting of these instances. Why not the men?" Ms Irwin said on ABC radio today.

Mr Rudd said that was not the case."
