Yes that’s exactly right. There’s more evidence to show that the little turds office Scotty From Marketing knew about this despite his claims to the contrary.doriswilgus wrote:Here’s a story in today’s Herald Sun,you know,that biased left wing paper that is always so unfair to conservative governments.

It seems that Morrison has already changed his story about his knowledge of the alleged rape a couple of times already.First he said his office knew of it back in April 2019,now he claims that they didn’t know of it until this month.And the text messages mentioned in this article suggest that his office did know of the incident shortly after it occurred.
Of course people here will say move along,nothing to see here,as they always do.But I think most Australians would like to know if their Prime Minister is lying about his knowledge of a rape that occurred in one of his minister’s office.It goes to his credibility and his honesty,I’m sure most Australians would like to know if they can believe anything he says.
A brave woman to come & make this public. Samantha Maiden has been working hard with the victim here as she’s been on this since January. So far he’s lied to Parliament but he might have been protected with the don’t ask don’t tell policy by his minders. It doesn’t pass the pub test
Having an enquiry run by a sco mo loyalist doesn’t assist anybody except the little turd.
They should establish an enquiry which is at arms length from all political parties and examine this further and independently so people can be safe in their workplaces.
Of course the minister for conspiracy theories the right dishonourable Craig Kelly takes a contrary view: “if women don’t want to get abused they shouldn’t work in parliament & should be at home looking after their husbands” he apparently wasn’t reported as saying.

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.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

3rd woman now claims to have been sexually assaulted by the same man. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-22/ ... s/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.

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.
