Might aswell have just came out and said 'go shout at Ann for opinions she has outside of the house that she has not brought up in here but I have suddenly decided its important but will not say anything to her myself'

...I can’t agree, Vicky...about Shane J trying to gain support to shut Ann down in the way that is referred to shutting down opinions etc...that would indicate that Ann was voicing opinions that he wanted to shut down, that there was something to shut down but she wasn’t and there wasn’t...and it wasn’t really Ann’s ‘opinions’ that he was trying to convey to some other housemates...(...which yes, I think wasn’t good at all and not for him to do..)...actively opposing legislations that bring equality goes a little beyond just having an opinion because of potential power and influence attached with that in a parliament position as Ann had, that would have a real affect on lives ...he was talking more about legislation and how Ann had opposed and casted votes against some of the freedoms that had enabled Wayne and Amanda to live their lives with their partners as that have done and do today.../...he obviously felt very frustrated and yeah maybe very negative toward Ann in that evening, so didn’t act great, I agree...but he didn’t try to shut her down or encourage anyone else to because there wasn’t anything to shut down, in that context...no discussions had taken place...
