“Evasive, uncooperative and manipulative”

- That’s how the police summed up Higgins during their investigation.

That would be because she was mal treated by the police right?

It appears obvious, that Higgins has honesty issues. Her manipulations gained her 2.4 million of taxpayers' money. Hopefully, the day will come when politicians are chosen once again for what they can do for their country

Bettina you are the one with the problematic thinking. You are not my friend.

Anyone who follows Clementine Ford has lost their moral compass. You will be shocked by what you bring to your doorstep by supporting extremism of any sort, especially concerning the 3 scourges of our society - terrorism, toxic feminism and wokeism. An unjust and weak society full of hatred. Where were you feminists when the Iranian Jihadist monsters (Hamas and Palestinians) were raping, torturing and killing women, men and babies? Focus on what is real before you find yourself and children in a similar place to the hostages barbarically taken from Israel.

In a discussion last night a male friend has trouble understanding why his wife and her friends do not support Brittany Higgins.

It is almost a forbidden topic where some women do not believe other what other women are saying.

Defense teams in rape trials prefer female jurors.

I have a preference for female judges for female criminals and have had arguments with local state MPs about barring male judges from cases involving violent/abusive women. Women are better able to see through the emotional claptrap of other women. The male judges too often get sucked in by the female perpetrators' tears and damseling.

Toxic feminism and wokeism is what is undermining advancement and a just society

That is true, lately on You tube Jedediah Bila and Pearl are fantastic to watch as well as Diana Davidson.

This is an old problem, women are always seen as the victim even when they are the offender, one of the worst cases is that of the woman doctor in Geraldton WA who beat her husband to death as he was lying in bed, she pleaded that SHE was the victim of domestic violence . The court and the judge where very easy on her and she was eligible for parole only 6 months after her trial and by her own account had a very relaxing time in prison , doing her hobbies and making new friends. She was a hero to the feminists who helped her to retain her resident visa, and on that point we should remember that it was Dutton the now leader of the Liberal/ Nationals who as Foreign Minister at the time allowed her to stay in the country.

This woman doctor virtually got away with murder, the judge was a man and as often happens he let her off because she was a woman and for no other reason.

Would a woman judge have been more severe in sentencing? you would like to think so but many of them are feminists.

If you read Janet's article about Earnest Belfort Bax, women getting away with murder is nothing new. Nor is it that they receive much lighter sentences than men

Is that Janet Albrecson from The Australian? Yes when a woman kills a man there is always that presumption that the man must have done something to deserve what he got. There is hardly ever the public outrage as seen when a woman is killed . This is the result of cultural conditioning and the men’s movement must work towards changing this.

Admirable investigative reporting, but a discouraging comment on justice and on the integrity of people responsible for it. Rape is defined to suit the needs of the moment. In the US a director at the Center for Disease Control declares that, "For every 10 teenage girls you know, at least one of them, and probably more, has been raped." The article reporting this claim in the Wall Street Journal (2/14/23) did not explain how, in this case, the CDC had defined rape, as if there were only one way to define it.

Expand full comment

The CDC is the source of the regular NISVS reports relating to sexual abuse. They hide the heterosexual "rape", or forced intercourse, of males behind the euphemism "made to penetrate" to separate it from "rape". If included the numbers of rape victims are close to parity. Thus the claims of 97% of rapists being male are a falsehood and countless male victims are cast into darkness.

There is only one way to define it, for ingenuous people, but for DISingenuous ideologues, any gaslighting drivel their MSM collaborators will publish is fine by them, they have no conscience, their motto is, The End Justifies The Means. Words that send chills down my spine. The loony-leftists still exist only because of the media. They are a tiny percentage of the population that the media gives a megaphone to, to make it seem they are the 90%.

A concise and informative article. Sunlight is such a good antiseptic, as Harry and Meghan have begun to realise to their chagrin. They hate being ridiculed. Brittany Higgins, Lisa Wilkinson and the mean girls may all yet have cause to regret their respective behaviour.

I noticed, long ago, close connections between political leaders and feminists.

Which one invented the other ?

Expand full comment

No compensation for the man whose reputation has been dragged through the mud though. Not an apology from the feminists politicians quite willing to use him as a political football. And no contrition from the likes of the ABC who slyly nailed their colours to Higgins's mast. After all, we must believe all women.

All of you hoping that there will be further action on this could help by contacting your local parliamentarians and expressing your concerns. Labor needs to know there is huge community anger about the payout to Higgins. The trouble is Dutton can't do anything because the daft Morrison government payed off the woman who made trouble for Alan Tudge.

I smelled a political rat right from the start and yet the media / activist feminists / others swallowed the scam without question. Why does Higgins get millions of dollars for being a Judas (non-gender) and yet a person who legitimately loses an eye or limb in an accident only gets thousands of dollars in compensation? What is she being compensated for that costs so much???

With you on this one. Don't forget the woke activists supporting such scams.

I hope the new federal corruption body investigates. If not, we'll know it is just another useless bureaucracy.

Thanks Bettina for your ongoing efforts in these matters. You are a light shining in the darkness. It seems Canberra is a snake-pit, full of deceitful liars and manipulators.

You make some very good points there, Christopher.

Perhaps after the air surrounding the Higgins affair has been cleared, the lack of transparency in regard to the ACT's Magistrate's Court's handling of domestic violence matters could be looked at for the purpose of exposing a very crooked process.

Hi, couple of things that concern me in this whole debacle. Firstly I personally am not surprised that this has never gone to trial. If the was a trial and a decision there would be the opportunity for an investigation into the behaviour of politicians , and that is a never going to happen event in Aus. Two : the national redress for child sex abuse is set at 150 000 dollars - maximum payment even today , so there is 12,000 plus people who just got truly shafted yet again, with a 2 500 000 dollar payout , both compassionate payments. Three : Compassionate payments, if we are to except the Higgins payment on compassionate grounds, as this has no conclusion and no decision has been made , then is is only appropriate that Lehrmann is also granted a payment in due regard for the damages done to his life in regards to this incident and the handling of the entire affair, as the failure of a decision from the courts leaves an unwarranted and unfair stain upon the individual.

VERY GOOD POINT, yes, why hasn't Lehmann received compensation. Probably because he has a penis. Maybe he needs to get pregnant.
