I had to make a police statement about sexual assault in 2020, in a different jurisdiction to where I live. Because of COVID it was taken by phone, then I drove to a police station just 20 kays away (in between lockdowns) to sign it. What @nswpolice are saying is a total lie.

Twitter and social media generally gives a voice and a platform to those without the privilege of a media soap box. That does not make them sewer rats. – at Shepparton - Mooroopna, Victoria

The PM talks about β€œrule of law” on the Christian Porter situation. Just wondering what effect calling someone β€œa lying cow” has in prejudicing an active police case regarding an alleged rape. Especially when @lindareynoldswa was a close confidante of the alleged perpetrator.

I truly understand the media focus on allegations against the AG, & the attention drawn to marches on March 15. I’ll be taking part. But please, please also pay attention to the Biloela family, in detention 3 yrs today. Their plight is desperate. Please don’t forget them.

2/2 Her lawyer knew of & trusted my journalism. He agreed to arrange a meeting. The next morning, another person who knew the woman told me she had died. It was my very sad duty to have to inform her lawyer of tragic news. The govt backgrounders of these journalists have no idea.

Whoa... the Sydney Morning Herald has tracked down all the former members of Christian Porter's debating team. Every single one of them believes the woman over him. #auspol #standporterdown

The right to vote is sacred and fundamental β€” and H.R. 1 is urgently needed to protect that right, to safeguard the integrity of our elections, and to repair and strengthen our democracy. I look forward to signing it into law after it has passed through the legislative process.

The circumstances are similar but contain big differences. Bill Shorten was subject of a 10 month police inquiry & voluntarily agreed to a police interview, which he did not have to do. The A-G has never provided an affidavit, submitted to a police interview or been investigated

#auspol Why was Porter in Perth? Not much support for him in Canberra. They only back winners. Remember that song by the Supremes, 'Nowhere to go, nowhere to where to hide.'

Porter says there is no point holding an inquiry. The point is actually really damn clear: to determine whether the allegation is supported by proof, and then use that information to decide whether he is fit to be the CHIEF LAW OFFICER of Australia. This is not complicated.

So the takeaway is that Christian Porter is the *real* victim here.

Yes. As a starting point if you receive a letter outlining a survivor’s story - find the time to read it! – at Melbourne, Victoria
"It is so important for our nation, the whole world, in fact, to listen to survivors' stories. Whilst they're disturbing to hear, the reality of what goes on behind closed doors is more so." Grace Tame #NPC
