I park at a car park to go see a movie

The parking officer asks if I have enough Frequent Flyer points to park here. I take a draw from my Electronic Cigarette and say no. Then I proceeded to write down my superannuation information. I walk down Elizabeth Street, recently renamed to Howard Avenue to go see a movie.

I get turned away, this theatre is only for BUPA customers.

I pull out my smart watch and ask Alexa to buy some groceries, she asks me if I would like to subscribe to Prime video for a 0.5% discount off my next purchase. I accept and put the bill on my super.

At the end of your 14 hour work day you retire to your Tiny Home, which is the size of two coffins side by side. You went with the deluxe version.

Your Tiny Home is built into an otherwise featureless grey concrete wall open to the weather, alongside hundreds of others, like a morgue only for the living.

In another 25 years you'll have paid off the mortgage.

I would not be surprised in the least if we later discover she was being sex trafficked. *Someone* has a direct line to the Minister and can get a young girl who came in illegally with a tourist visa through immigration detention. Someone with a lot of money. And they did it twice, with two different girls.

Just days after calling the alleged victims of sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein ‘career rapees’, Germaine Greer has now revealed that she heard her close friend being raped and ‘did nothing’ about it.

Speaking at a debate about the MeToo movement, the 79-year-old author said people were ‘completely confused’ by what sexual assault is and used what happened to her unnamed friend as an example.

She said: ‘I was woken up by shouts, ”Get off! Leave me alone! No, no!”. And I thought, ”What do I do?”, and of course, like most house guests, I did nothing’.

She told the audience she later discussed the incident with her friend, who revealed what Greer overhead that night happened ‘fairly often’.

‘She said, ”Was that rape?”, and I said, well, ”I don’t know. It might have been”,’ she explained.

‘And then I said to her, ”Why would you send your husband away for years — which is the tariff for tape — because he overrode your unwillingness on such occasion?”.’

The writer then went on to criticise how rape is represented in the entertainment industry, describing it as a ‘bloody victim crime’, before going on to explain it as a ‘domestic thing’ that happens when a couple ‘don’t understand each other terribly well’.

She said: ‘Sex is a blood sport. People take punishment. They get over it. The relationship survives, or it doesn’t.’

Greer was criticised earlier this week after she warned that accusers of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein could become ‘career rapees’.

She said that some alleged victims of Weinstein have had ‘extraordinary exposure’, adding: ‘Some of whom have been paid six figure sums in the form of non-disclosure agreements’.

The feminist previously accused female stars of ‘spreading their legs’ for the movie producer.

In an interview before being named Australian of the Year, Greer said: ‘I want, I’ve always wanted, to see women react immediately. In the old days, there were movies — the Carry On comedies, for example — which always had a man leering after women. And the women always outwitted him — he was a fool. We we weren’t afraid of him and we weren’t afraid to slap him down.’

‘What makes it different is when the man has economic powers, as Harvey Weinstein has. But if you spread your legs because he said ”be nice to me and I’ll give you a job in a movie” then I’m afraid that tantamount to consent, and it’s too late now to start whingeing about it.’
