Men’s rights activist Bettina Arndt could be stripped of her Order of Australia over comments she made about murdered mother Hannah Clarke and her three children. Ms Arndt congratulated a Queensland detective for keeping an open mind after he appeared to suggest the woman’s husband could have been driven to his breaking point before dousing petrol on his family and setting them alight in Brisbane on Wednesday. The Governor-General’s office confirmed Ms Arndt’s award would be reviewed by an independent board, a decision which has been welcomed by MPs on both sides of politics. Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson said she would write to the council and request the award be cancelled. Speaking to Sky News on Monday, Senator Henderson said “the comments were abhorrent” and she had "brought the Order into disrepute". Labor MP Peter Khalil described Ms Arndt’s comments as “disgraceful” and supported the independent review. Image: News Corp Australia
