Simon Berger, The Young Liberals, Alan Jones and That Chaff Bag Jacket

Simon Berger is Community and Government Relations Manager of Woolworths Limited. At a fundraising event for the conservative Liberal Party of Australia, Simon Berger donated a ‘chaff bag’ for auction. It was bid for and purchased by Alan Jones. The chaff bag represents a symbol of political violence against political opponents especially women. The chaff bag was introduced into Australia’s political debate by extreme right wing media commentators including Alan Jones who advocated that the Australian Prime Minister Ms Julia Gillard be dumped in a chaff bag and taken out to sea. Simon Berger is a member of the Liberal Party and a former election candidate of the Liberal Party.
