Turnbull gave a very big hint that Porter or someone else was talking to the victim recently and that may have caused her to end her life.

There’s a photo on news.com of Porter and the victim together in the night of the incident.

Also here is Riccardo Bossi of the Australia One Party, talking about rescuing children from Deep Underground Military Bases, if anyone has any information about him or the AOP that would be useful too:

edit to clarify - That "Wake Up Australia" account is indeed a COVID-denier, but there are a handful in that scene who have realised there is something extremely fishy going on, such as these fuckwits talking about kids in tunnels with Sacha Stone. This tweet is calling them out, not saying "omg kids in tunnels"

Not AusPol TERFery, but this reminds me of the the weirdo blonde gun loving conservative American who thought she was being clever by asking "how would you feel if there were tampons in the mens toilets?" in a supposed gotcha against trans rights gone mad. But the bloke she asked was a trans man and he very calmly went "Yeah, that'd be nice. I sometimes have issues, and it'd be nice to be able to get tampons in the mens shitters." whilst she looked on blankly. Obviously unaware she was talking to a filthy gender traitor and abomination under god.

TERFs are horrifyingly hateful arseholes, but they are also arseholes in the way they despise trans women, but ignore trans men.

Scott Morrison dismissed for "serious misconduct" after a complaint described as "highly inappropriate intimate sexual behaviour and conduct".

This is about professor of mathematics Dr Scott Morrison, who was dismissed from the ANU and is now persuing an unfair dismissal claim. This hasn't been in the news much, is it: (a) not newsworthy, (b) not reportable because there is a more famous Scott Morrison, (c) being hushed up by the ANU, or (d) all of the above?

Look, this may be a controversial statement. And I realise it may paint me as a bad guy, and I am definitely not painting anyone with an accusation of committing this specific rape. But,

I struggle not to imagine any current cabinet member as not a rapist.

I'd argue that, if anything, TERFs acknowledge without outright stating (because they can't go that far) that trans men are men. All these conversations and talking points stem from those bathroom warrior types, most if not all of whom are just straight-up reactionaries, but that can easily be spun as a TERF point once you talk about one half of gendered bathrooms as 'women's spaces.' The consequence of this is that the focus is almost entirely on trans women, and trans men get left out because they're not the ones going into women's spaces. Since when did feminist conversations about safe spaces for women factor in men outside the spaces?

quote:

'I believe you, your country believes you': PM's apology to child sex abuse survivors

Prime minister Scott Morrison has delivered an emotional apology to the thousands of Australians who suffered sexual abuse as children at the hands of institutions that were trusted with their care[...]

As a father of two daughters, I can't comprehend the magnitude of what she has faced. Not just as a father, but as a prime minister, I am angry too at the calculating destruction of lives and the abuse of trust.

A survivor named Rodney asked the question so common to so many survivors. He wonders about the "person I may have become or the person I could have become, if I did not have all of this in my life".
Death can take many forms. In this case, the loss of a life never lived and a life denied.

Another survivor, Aidan, spoke of not getting justice, because his abuser had died.
He said, "I was bereft because I was robbed. I was robbed of my day in court. I wanted to tell the world what he did. That was stolen. That was him, again, taking control."

Mr Speaker, today, as a nation, we confront our failure to listen, to believe, and to provide justice.

Nothing has changed after years.

TERF orthodoxy, at least this week, is that all trans women conform to the Blanchard typology (either self-hating gays or fetishists depending on sexual orientation) and all trans men are just victims of patriarchy who are trying to escape persecution by becoming men.

General Angus Campbell told the new recruits at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra to protect themselves by avoiding the attention of would-be predators.

The ADF chief said the cadets needed to not fall victim to the “Four A’s”: alcohol, out after midnight, alone and attractive.

WMM died in custody after a lengthy term of imprisonment. He had been imprisoned for almost nine years. He died from natural causes after an extensive history of significant kidney disease which led to significant morbidity and irreversible complications. The requirement for haemodialysis placed him at very high risk of sudden cardiac death.

It speaks volumes that basically everybody assumed it was Porter to begin with. An absolute slimeball.

He's a creepy authoritarian with his policies and the awful poo poo he and Dutton have done to damage the rule of law in the country may never be undone.

That he's also (allegedly) violated and destroyed individuals on a personal level yet will probably see no justice is not a good feeling.
