I don’t know much about the case so I had a read through her profile, I find it strange that no lawyer will take her case for starters and there is a lot of stuff about agenda 21, COVID not being real and chem trails etc maybe a fruit loop IDK but if she was r*ped I hope she gets justice

"Well-known" former barrister Peter Faris blitzed the media with a campaign on her behalf in the week immediately before the last election, and was given bulk publicity by the usual far right shills.
The timing may, of course have just been a coincidence (Sarah Henderson anyone?), as may the fact that nothing further was heard from him and them after the election.

 

[cartwright]

Let’s cut the bullshit.

the woman who has accused Shorten won’t get justice or even a trial

it sounds like the deceased woman tried for a while to get justice and never will.
She had to suffer the crime then deal with seeing the prick on the media every other day - while his career took off and her life crumbled.

Brittany Higgins is trying to get justice and like other women in very recent times in politics is asking for the MOPs Act to be reformed to give them the same rights as any other person employed in Australia.

that’s the least any of these arseholes from all parties can do.

Some pretty good indications when one of the most respected journalists in the country is willing to call it out.

And this is why it came from some random backbencher.

Morrison is such a manipulative slimy coward

And because Morrison got her a Senate seat after she got kicked out of her lower house seat

She owes him and she has no issue with politically weaponising rape

Historical sexual assault allegation against Labor frontbencher referred to AFP

Breaking: A referral to the Australian Federal Police has been made regarding an historic sexual assault allegation against a federal Labor frontbencher.

Doesn't take a genius to connect the dots here.

Federal Police have no jurisdiction here by the way.

Another Morrison PR piece to drum up content for the Murdoch press

Warning to PM in rape claim letter

Scott Morrison is under pressure to stand down a minister at the centre of a historic rape allegation and to hold a parliamentary investigation after he received an anonymous letter, penned by “friends” of a dead woman who told police she was r*ped in 1988, calling for “justice”.

www.news.com.au

'“If you asked anyone who knew ... them in 1987, an objective observer would have said that [they] were all impressive young people but that [she] had the most potential and would have been the one most likely to rise to high political office.
“Sadly, while the other two are in federal Parliament [she] killed herself before she was 50.”'

In the above article this morning, it leaves the impression (wrongly IMO) that there were 2 people (not including the victim) involved in her alleged 1988 rape at a Sydney event, and that both of them are currently in Federal Parliament!

When in fact the other person alluded to is probably from a different known alleged rape case, where the victim is still alive, and that has already been investigated by Police and closed.

Did they edit out the bit about the debating comp in Adelaide in 1986 too?
(if it was even there in the first place)

Someone trying to pretend he wasn’t in Sydney on January 1988 (for what it’s worth elsewhere someone else said it was a Canberra IP address too lol)

 

[BFew]

Absolutely disgusting the way the Murdoch media is using this historical alleged Sydney 1988 rape by a Liberal Cabinet Minister to attack the ABC and Labor on their front page Australian Newspaper online this morning.

I had a mortgage at 18% under Keating. The bloke was and is a turnip. Now living in palatial circumstances with his superannuation that he set up with all his fancy effing clocks.

Think you’ll find global interest rates at the time were pretty much that too. Much as some of us admire Keating, we know he wasn’t Superman.

AND, lest you use the same rationale to excuse the astronomical rates when Howard was treasurer under Fraser, the difference is that Howard was stupid enough to later claim that interest rates will always be lower under a Liberal government. Liar, incompetent, hypocrite? Take your pick.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

so the left have a labour politician accused of rape nothing to see here move along

same thing happens with a liberal MP hang him shut parliament down lynch Scomo

Um, no.

Do try to keep up.

Just read some more on the Ms Mani alleged indecent assault by a fellow NSW State Liberal party staffer towards the end of 2014 and beginning of 2015.

Eyes wide open at the bit were Finkelstein is reported to have gaslighted her.

Liberal party staffer claims she was told an incident was 'her fault'

Dhanya Mani alleged in 2019 she was working for the NSW Liberal government when four years earlier a Liberal staffer showed up at her house and choked her.

www.dailymail.co.uk

'Scott Morrison's principal secretary Yaron Finkelstein called Ms Mani on her mobile on August 23, 2019.

'We've received a number of complaints that relate to Coalition ministers and part of a complaint that relates to handling of a complaint by the Prime Minister's office,' she told him.

She asked for a meeting with somebody in the Prime Minister's office to discuss the complaints from people who had contacted her from both state and federal levels of government but claims she was brushed aside.

She said Mr Finkelstein admonished her for not calling the police.

'He told me that I was just welcome to write a letter to the Prime Minister like any other member of the public, which was extremely upsetting given that I was talking to the Prime Minister's private secretary and I'd hoped that there would be compassion and empathy on some level, that it would be appreciated that I was personally reaching out and just sincerely asking for help.'

She said when she directly asked whether he was prepared to do anything to set up a meeting with Mr Morrison he begrudgingly told her he would send an email the next day but she never heard from him.

"Mr Finkelstein encouraged Ms Mani to report to the relevant authorities any matters she deemed serious or that may have been a crime,' a spokesperson for the Prime Minister's office told the ABC.'

Ever wonder why the ABC isn't going hard on the current rape scandal?

Jane Norman (the head of ABC News), is the current partner of the recently divorced Christian Porter

Looking at it now it's one of the few things he got right.

that’s the least any of these arseholes from all parties can do.

Whilst I agree, it won't solve the fundamental structural issue whereby staff don't take advantage of their rights for fear of ruining their careers with a monopoly employer. Like a reporter I heard yesterday said - you can't just walk down the street and get a job with the other Liberal Party.

The ALP is a slightly less toxic employment environment for women than the Liberals, so I personally think it is less likely that something like the Brittany Higgins incident would have occurred in that party. But I think if it occurred, management would probably have reacted in a similar way. There are just so many incentives in politics to protect the party and individual peoples' careers.

The more stuff like this comes out, the more I think it can only be solved by fully ventilating the 'Canberra bubble'. I have no faith in politicians to regulate themselves. Unless the media stops turning a blind eye to stuff that would be unacceptable in any other workplace, nothing will change.

Unfortunately the “ventilation” is basically impossible. The politicians make the rules. The media aren’t interest and just see themselves as part of it all.

 

[Caesar]

I do feel like this is changing a little bit. The Four Corners story about women in Canberra would never have happened five years ago.

I agree it has a long way to go though.

Well we could try voting Green but you just don’t want to talk about that.

Totally aimed at the politically disengaged so that a year from now when there’s an election on, they go “Labor are just as bad as these guys so I’ll vote for the status quo.”

 

[Gough]

This is like the bushfires all over again, when called upon to show leadership Morrison goes missing.

And as federal politicians resist any sort of oversight at every step, they are also actively defunding and reducing government oversight and regulation outside of government.

It is getting to the point where no one is watching the government and the government are watching no one except their usual whipping boys - we have a new hotline to dob in dole bludgers, refugees, etc.

Government in Australia has degenerated to the point where they are not even governing any more, they are simply manipulating the rules of the game (government are first and foremost law makers) to suit themselves and their sponsors and this is often at the expense of the general public.

 

[Caesar]

Well we could try voting Green but you just don’t want to talk about that.

If the Greens ever got into a position where they were capable of changing things they would be beholden to the same power dynamics that prevent the major parties from doing so
