NSW senator David Leyonhjelm has confirmed he told the Greens' Sarah Hanson-Young to "stop shagging men" and then swore at her when she confronted him.
Senator Hanson-Young told parliament the Liberal Democrats senator made the remark during a vote on a motion about arming women with tasers to combat violence.
"I asked whether I heard him correctly. He confirmed he yelled 'you should stop shagging men, Sarah'," Senator Hanson-Young said.
"Shocked, I told him he was a creep. His reply was to tell me to 'f*** off'."

Senate president Scott Ryan asked Senator Leyonhjelm to apologise but he refused.
Senator Leyonhjelm said he was responding to Senator Hanson-Young's interjection, which was "along the lines of all men being rapists".
"I responded by suggesting that if this was the case she should stop shagging men. I did not yell at her," Senator Leyonhjelm said.

\"Following the division, Senator Hanson-Young approached me and called me a creep. I told her to f*** off.""I am prepared to rephrase my comments. I strongly urge Senator Hanson-Young to continue shagging men as she pleases," Senator Leyonhjelm said.© AAP 2018

Senator Hanson-Young described the comments as sexist and offensive, adding she was disappointed Senator Leyonhjelm had not apologised.

He said if the Greens senator took offence, it was an issue for her.
