A Liberal MP is taking a strong stand against sexism — even in her own party — after she says she is sick of being attacked for the clothes she wears.

South Australian MP Nicole Flint went viral posting a video wearing a bin bag to call out 'sexist rubbish' she had experienced in a newspaper column.

The Member for Boothby will join The West Live host Jenna Clarke from 8.45am to discuss women in Australian politics and the response she has received from the video.
