Prominent feminist author and journalist Naomi Wolf has called on Energy Minister Angus Taylor to make a correction to Parliament over alleged inaccuracies in his maiden speech.on Thursday morning of a late night phone call with an unnamed staffer in Energy Minister Angus Taylor's office in which she castigates the Minister for claiming to have lived down the corridor from her in Oxford in 1991.
Mr Taylor said in his maiden speech to Parliament in 2013 that he first encountered "political correctness" at Oxford, where in 1991 "a young Naomi Wolf lived a couple of doors down the corridor". He said that a group of more "mainstream" students pushed back successfully against the bid to remove the Christmas tree."He publicly, verbally mis-stated where I was, what I was doing and implied to Parliament that I was warring against Christmas," Dr Wolf says. "I have been trying to get this corrected for three or four days now."
The embattled Minister has faced intense scrutiny from the opposition and the media this week over the use of an allegedly forged document to attack City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore on climate change.
