I just found "wicked Riches" after reading Conan Doyle's novel:

"The Valley of Fear" (1915). The structure of feminism and criminal organisations are the same !

In the novel a benevolent and innocent Irish society for helping poor migrant people, turns slowly into a criminal one, thanks to liars and false witnesses, and political corruption, until a rich Valley full of coal mines ans Steel Mills becomes a nightmare, in which Police and Justice are corrupted. In the end, the state institutions will have to act.

Here we are in 2025 !

Like in every historical "victimism" (revolutions or nazism) a turning point has been reached:

"poor beaten wives" of the past are seen as "true predators" thanks to abuses covered by corruped politicians.

We are living awful times.

This will be interesting. Qld police Union don’t support their paid members when false allegations of DV are made against them, yet take their money, they are now pushing for police to walk into one’s home, slap the alleged DV offender with a 12 month restraining order, no go to court for a judge to decide, just some cop still with training wheels on can destroy a man’s life without any evidence under coercive controls laws. We have the Union head pushing for police to become Judge & Jury. I have no doubt there will be fines in the future, that go with DV orders to fund the lying females claims for financial assistance.

When did Unions influence how the laws are made, they are just well paid nobodies. All I can see is police doing the work for politicians to get re-elected.

Labor governments have always been influenced by unions but this is going too far.

Hi Bettina, we weren't aware she has or has not received any money and how much would be anyone's guess. Can't now he scum like her profit from lying about an encounter with a 19 year old. F***ing b***ch is a married but apparently separated mother of 4 daughters. The DNA of 3 other men were also found in her tests at the time. Seriously she's just a complete dog in my opinion. Makes me so angry.

We have an appeal in May so praying that this my son's conviction will be quashed. I didn't realise that as hes received a fine that she would have received compensation. We were never told this and don't know how much.

The government won’t tell you anything, but one must assume fines are going back to the so called victims.

Great article. This scourge is all too prevalent. It has a devastating affect on people’s lives. The courts? The legal system? Frankly, useless. No evidence but never a problem to push court dates back because the claimant isn’t ready. Years go by. The presumption of innocence until guilt is under threat. More light needs to be shone on this whole area. It is ruining the lives of perfectly decent people.

David, prosecution will continually come up with lame excuses for adjournments to keep alleged DV offenders on remand to wear them down until they plead guilty. It’s a strategy used all the time. Goes against all Human Rights laws of Presumption of Innocence.

A true story from WA some time ago, a teacher was charged with sexual assault of an 11 year old girl a pupil in his class. He was sacked and forced to sell his house to pay excessively high legal fees ,the case dragged on and even though the girl’s story was full of holes, no evidence ,no medical reports he was still forced into a trial.

The girl told the truth in the courtroom , her mother had concocted the whole thing and forced her to lie in order to get a victims of crime payout.

The case was dismissed ,but no compensation for the school teacher who was also prohibited from legal action. You would have assumed that the mother would then be charged , but no , women get away with a lot just because they are women .

It’s ironic that the school teacher was himself a “victim of crime” and in principle should have been eligible for compensation but he got nothing .

When you pay someone for making unsubstantiated accusations of course the number of them goes up. Women (mostly) who gained PR by marrying some sucker in australia would have to live with him for a number of years before she could dump him BUT.... if she claims he is violent she can dump him and STAY HERE. What a surprise ...DV skyrocketed (no proof of course).

Some years ago the New Zealand Govt of the time decided to institute fees for making Applications in the Family Court. However, the proposal was that the fee would be "waived" if the Application contained an allegation of DV. The public submissions made by myself and Law Firms said that if the fee was waived, almost ALL Applications in the Family Court would contain allegations of DV. Naturally, the Women's Support Groups and University Professors in "Women's Studies" were all supportive of the Govt proposal. The Govt stuck with their proposal and, like we told them, Applications to the Family Court for day to day care containing allegations of DV, skyrocketed.

Yes you do not have to be a genius to deduce that reward for allegations will increase allegations.

"PR" = "Permanent Residency". I worked that out from your comment, knowing that this is a confirmed phenomenon.

I've seen one "sucker" taken by the fake dv claim so she didn't even have to wait the two years. Bettina has an interview from about 2018 with a wealthy, middle aged man who fell for the "true love" foreign bride deception, and when the bride wanted to leave early she found several dv services waiting for her in court, touting for her "business". Taxpayer funded, of course.

In the last few years, the word has gotten out among men - don't bring a foreign bride to the west!

Another area where MGTOW is making feminism hurtful to women.

These DV “services” , taxpayer funded and free to the applicant can not continue , Peter Dutton has vowed to make big cuts to the public service which is sending the country broke .

But I hope he has the guts to stand up to the feminists and cut back in this area , bearing in mind that his own party is riddled with feminists .

I suspect you'll agree with me that it's unlikely that Dutton will cut dv "services", or any of the other money which is tossed to feminists.

"Conservatives" like to talk big about reducing government waste, backing the family and small business etc., and even opposing the trans agenda (which is a safe cause with women), but always do so without risking anything which can provoke outrage from the feminist MSM - and the feminists within his own party, as you point out!

The one small change I hope for from him is that he'll cut Albo's "wage gap" crap.

And feminists would have us believe that we live in a patriarchial society run by misogynistic men dedicated to oppressing and subjugating women.

It was 61 years ago that I was molested on my way home from school, a once off incident in my life, and whilst I've had the good fortune to afford therapy and earn good money from being gainfully employed and I have had and do live a good life, there are certain anxieties and emotions that still pop up every now and then. Yet, I couldn't prove that I was ever molested. I have no evidence whatsoever that it actually happened.

How any Government bureaucrat can think that a payout of $2000 or even $120,000 is going to 'fix it up' shows how ignorant and sentimental they really are; and a total insult to those that really suffer from abuse or are falsely accused. These payouts and these schemes, without any form of questioning, are nothing but Politicians using Taxpayer Funded programs, pushed as benefits, as a way to buy votes.

The 'Claim Farmers' and the 'liars' who make false claims and ruin other peoples lives through false accusations should be forced to repay any money received, if proven their claims are false, and then put into jail.

These false claims and accusations can make it worse for real claimants, the falsely accused who are proven not guilty, etc., because it shows the Justice System rewards liars and cheats, as Bettina states in her subtitle, and that the Justice System is a total sham which is supported by many of our leaders without question.

That's a great point that even for valid claims, a few $1000 from the taxpayer is not a useful remedy. Perhaps if it was directly used for therapy it could be, but just as a "handout" it seems wasteful. It could even be counterproductive, being quickly wasted on "self medication".

>> These payouts and these schemes, without any form of questioning, are nothing but Politicians using Taxpayer Funded programs, pushed as benefits, as a way to buy votes.

Yep. Disgraceful.

Hi Bettina. I'm am completely disgusted and devasted that this happens and the archaic laws need to change.

My son was convicted with a crime he did not commit and the piece of s**t doesn't give a toss at what she's done to him, us as his parents, his family and friends.

We are devastated that she as a 34 year old woman and him being 19 at the time could have even conceived such a vile act.

She initiated everything and as a naive young man got caught up in her web. We still don't understand why.

I've read all the stories about the men who have gone though the same thing and it sickens me to my core.

My son was sent a Victims of Crime

fine a week after he was convicted. Like seriously. They're never going to

see a dime!!!

Tash, my son also pled not guilty and found guilty. His ex had stalked others before but the cops weren’t interested. She wasn’t happy getting $200 a week in child support, she just wanted revenge. Now she gets nothing because he has nothing. The taxpayer is footing the bill & probably forever. He had a job and worked since he was 15, paid his taxes. He probably won’t work again. She might have had a win but in the end the taxpayer loses. Governments love throwing taxpayers money around so they get re-elected.

Qld have the most backwards laws for DV, which saw my son found guilty, just to please the liars. I would turn my back on any woman seeking help, they are on their own.

Good for you, Tash. Do let me know what happens re the fine. I am interested to find out whether they take action if you don't pay. If you received a fine that means she was paid compensation. How much did she receive?

Another shocking scandal, and sad to read about even more innocent men who have had to battle the full force of the law and the justice system to restore some dignity to their lives and the lives of their affected children. What an extraordinary rort this turned out to be. Who’d have thought? 80 grand to make up a story that the police don’t even look at. This looks like a nice little earner for the law firms that specialise in victim compensation who were notoriously behind the launching of the royal commission in the first place.
