PM says sexual assaults in Parliament have always been an issue for states to deal with 😉

You really have a bee in your bonnet over this issue.

Ms Higgins may have been raped, she may not have been. Who knows. As to whether she is brave or not, all you can really say is that her behaviour is unusual. Who goes to the media a couple of years after an alleged rape, then asks police to pursue it and then asks for her privacy to be respected? That is quite odd. Those in media are clearly not helping her. If they were they would have told her to go to the police then STFU as far as the media is concerned. Going to the media first could be enough in itself for police to decide not to lay any charges.

As for the suggestion that there should be an independent inquiry to examine this so that people can be safe in their workplaces, that is an inane suggestion for a number of reasons (it will probably happen though, because after all we are talking about politicians). Who will conduct the independent inquiry? What would the terms of reference be? Will they interview the only two people in the room at the time? Hint, no, they won’t. So we would have an inquiry into this incident that hears only from Ms Higgins. That will make everyone safe in their workplaces, won’t it ? Then, in the future, every woman that was about to be raped at work could whip out a copy of the recommendations and they will be safe.

I have a really strange, left field suggestion. Just to be different, if someone I knew had been the victim of a crime, I would tell them that there was a free, and normally confidential service that investigates crimes and can bring perpetrators to justice. That service is called the police. I would tell them to make a complaint and ask them to investigate. I would also tell them that a conviction is not going to make one iota of difference to whether or not people feel safe at work.

So apparently she now expects to be part of "Driving Reform" to how these things are handled. Really? Since when does being bitten by a shark make you an expert in shark attacks?

Another woman has now come forward claiming to have been raped by the same bloke but after he was sacked and had gone to work in private industry.

She's apparently kept in touch, went out one night, she drank too much, back to her place, were going to have consensual sex then argued about a condom. She said "No condom, no sex" which is completely fair enough, providing conditional consent. he said Nope and processed to have sex with her anyway without a condom. She also hasn't (I believe) reported it to Police but she has spoken out on the condition of anonymity.

3rd woman now claims to have been sexually assaulted by the same man. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-22/third-woman-alleges-sexual-assault-same-man-as-brittany-higgins/13177536

This one was 3 years before Brittany but shows the same pattern. Get them pissed and take advantage. Fairly predatory behaviour.

Interesting that the mans name hasn't been released yet everyone in the circle seems to know exactly who he is.

He has been named in left wing publications with his photo plastered everywhere

OK, I clearly red the wrong left wing publications as I haven't seen it, but the number is now up to 4 women.

[eddiesmith]

It was some crappy one that required people to subscribe but his picture was visible. If you’ve seen a photo of some young guy in a suit and the NRL trophy in recent days, that’s him.

You can't go around believing those left wing publications. They are all lies, you know. They are all written by Antifa activists.

We had an ARMY bloke who was so predatory the girls nin the typing pool and the punch operators demanded he be removed as he was constantly touching them up.

So the mnorons in charge moved him to a clothing store in Watsonia and he touched up some young girl whose dad was a Brigadier so he was moved again. He was barred from the pub after a few incidents and he got his lights punched out by girls husband.

Next thing he was a contestant on Blind Date and won a holiday to Great Keppel with some bird and tried to rape her within an hour of being there and she went home costing Channel 10 a bundle.

Finally they dis something and kicked him out,

I checcked the numpty on linkden the other day and he is a equity officer for overseas students at RMIT. So 2 of the largest institutions in Melbourne couldn't handle these bastards and iit might take some outraged asian father to kill this prick before any justice is done.

Hey Ron, if you're sure it's the same bloke, PM me a name. I know some people there, I can at least flag his name.
