Bethlehem Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 This is well worth a read.https://www.crikey.com.au/2021/03/01/press-gallery-women-journalism/It’s about how the women journalists are changing the culture. I hope they are there to ask today. A reminder that diversity is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethlehem Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A great article by Laura tingle. Why the response to the historical rape allegation against a Minister is so differenthttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-03/response-historical-rape-allegation-against-minister-different/13208174On the abc radio news this morning, the cabinet minister’s lawyer spoke about how he hopes we see the humanity of his client etc.It completely enraged me.

Ozgirl Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I hope some seriously decent journalists are there to ask tough questions. Sadly they are having to choose. This is shocking! https://twitter.com/BethanyinCBR/status/1366876307930243072?s=19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I guess we can’t expect him to start acting decent now, can we. Louise Milligan tweeted that #CabinetMinister has form. I truly hope the other victims come forward. There may be comfort in knowing they aren’t alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The journos went on the attack over the release of the aged care report and presser. I hope they continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, yes, my mind hadn't gone that far but I'd imagine it would be unusual for a rape like this to be a one time thing. Possibly not even his first. There were at the very least probably times leading up to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonMyrtle Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The Chaser has jumped the gun and posted a satirical article about the minister in advance, lol. It doesn’t explicitly say he is accused though, so I think they will get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozgirl Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yes - that is my hope, that if there are other victims that they are able to find the courage to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonMyrtle Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Is he for real? Comparing himself to Shorten? ---- Separately was the Shorten story prior to the #metoo movement? Yes he was. A nice political slap to the opposition during all this.I’m not familiar with the shorten case, I guess it is very similar, but a dick move to bring it up. And so scripted!! Some liberal seniors had their hand in that paragraph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplekitty Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 They've been referencing Shorten for days trying to shut down the outrage and discussion.IIRC Shorten cooperated fully with the police and there were two police investigations.

JustBeige Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 so has he actually admitted it? I'd like to not have to keep editing the thread If he hasnt, then please dont use names, please use the current trending hashtag of #CabinetMinister ok, so he identified himself as the person but denies it. (of course) https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-03/christian-porter-denies-historical-rape-allegation/13206972As we are unsure if there will be any further charges and he is currently in a public Office, please be mindful of any speculation that hasnt been reported on.

Aust-27 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Why "adult daughter" and not "daughter" when "apologising" to her parents? I know this may seem insignificant, but that was my first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Void Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I see Linda Reynolds is front page again. I think they're lining her up to be the official sacrifice. As usual, a woman to pay the price.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen why? And Scomo just said "she shouldn't have said it, BUT It was in a private office and so therefore shouldn't matter" So everything that happens behind doors should not come to the public's attention?? Alright then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_mdn v2.0 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Because he doesn't want anyone to consider her a child. Yup, while he referred to himself as "just a boy". He was older than her, and almost legally a man. He knew better. This POS makes me fucking sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
