Q&A guest Zaky Mallah hits back with new gang-bang tweets

Zaky Mallah has launched a series of depraved and misogynistic tirades since he ignited controversy on the ABC’s Q&A last week.

Zaky Mallah has launched a series of depraved and misogynistic ­tirades since he ignited a storm of controversy on the ABC’s Q&A program last week, insisting “whores don’t get raped” and continuing his campaign of abuse against two female journalists.

Q&A host Tony Jones told viewers on Monday night that, had the program known of Mallah’s tweets inciting the gang rape of two News Corp Australia journalists, producers would not have ­invited him on to the program to ask a question of Foreign Affairs Parliamentary Secretary Steven Ciobo.

In January, Mallah tweeted: “Australia has two decent whores, @RitaPanahi and Miranda Dev­ine. Both need to be gang banged on the Sunrise desk. #freedomofspeech love it!”

Having been condemned for inciting gang rape against the two conservative commentators, Mallah hit back, tweeting: “Gang raped? Please show me where I said ‘gang raped’? I remember saying gang banged! Rita and Miranda, if you’ll consent, I’ll be the first!”

Mallah also attacked the Prime Minister’s Parliamentary Secretary, Alan Tudge, who refused to appear on Q&A this week in protest at Mallah’s appearance.

Mallah called Mr Tudge a “wank-job minister” and a “sewage rat” who “fails to differentiate the difference between gang rape and gang bang”.

And in a video tirade recently posted on YouTube, Mallah challenged his critics to “prove to me where I tweeted that these two ­individuals should be gang raped”.

“My tweet clearly stated that these two News Corp trashy whores should be gang banged on the Sunrise desk. Gang banged not gang raped,” Mallah says.

“According to my passport dictionary, gang banged means consensual sexual activity in a large number group of people. Miranda and Rita, if you’re not a whore then why are you taking so much offence to it? The last time I heard, whores don’t get raped, they consent.”

The ABC’s Media Watch program this week said it disagreed with those who have argued Mallah was not fit to appear on Q&A because of his tweets.
