## Resource

Ryanair CEO Michael OLeary’s shocking comparison of rival airlines to “rapists” has sparked outrage, with Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee calling the remark “disgusting” and condemning its lack of empathy for survivors of sexual violence. Drawing from her firsthand experience working with trauma survivors, she stressed that such language is deeply harmful and reveals a profound disrespect for victims. Critics argue O’Leary’s comments are yet another headline-grabbing stunt at the expense of basic decency — and demand he issue a public apology to those wounded by his words.
