the lack of contemporaneous forensic evidence of an assault this will be a key point

There doesn’t seem to be any evidence confirming Higgins’ identification of Lehrmann as the man who raped her (other than the cab ride to the parliament, but he was not the only man in the parliament that evening).

It could be the case that neither is lying, just Higgins is mistaken, conflating the rapist with the man who was with her earlier that evening. A not unlikely mistake, given her admitted state of inebriation.

What if parliament is not sitting?

If it’s that important, the pollies can all be back in Canberra to vote.

An extraordinary sitting would have to be called which, along with the debate process, could delay a deployment and thereby increase the mortal risk to the forces being deployed.

No war is being won or lost based on Australia participating days or a couple of weeks later than others.

What if, for example, the Greens and likeminded other pacifists held the balance of power in both houses? The nation could be paralysed at a time of dire need for decisive action.

You’re overstating Australia’s importance.

But the good news is, based on the Ukrainian precedent, if Australian’s feel so inclined they can get on the first plane to the war zone to volunteer.

You can’t know that.

The prosecutor outlines the case to be presented in his opening address. This includes an outline of the evidence to be presented. The prosecutor made no mention of there being physical evidence.

The accused has claimed that there is no sex involved in the encounter. If the prosecution has positive dna evidence then there is little point in making such a claim. In the presence of dna evidence the accused would to establish consent.

I didn’t realise that 2020 and 2021 were a walk in the park for the vaccinated, lockdowns, curfews, ring of steel, 5km limits, allowed outside for an hour of day of continuous walking, no church services for months, no baptisms, no birthdays, no seeing new babies and new mums interstate, no visitors in hospital for family facing life threatening illnesses and major surgeries, elderly relatives stuck in aged care with no family for months on end.
Yep it was all just a barrel of fun for those who got vaccinated.
Talk about history revisions.

In 2020 that was the case for everyone.

If, after the 22nd Feb 2021 when vaccines became available in Australia, a person chose to get one then the situation as described above changed markedly for the better.

‘I was deprived of my liberty in an unnecessary and undignified way’: Gender-critical Catholic mother blasts Surrey Police who ‘swooped on her home and arrested her in front of her traumatised children without a warrant over series of “malicious” posts’

The row stems from a series of anonymous posts shared on forums on Kiwi Farms in June – in which Mrs Farrow is accused of posting ‘malicious’ content and ‘harassing’ other users on the online platform.
A spokesperson for Surrey Police said officers attended the address in Guildford as part of a probe into ‘allegations of malicious communications and harassment’ , adding that officers ‘seized a number of electronic devices’.

How could that be?
We’ve been informed by others here that because it’s ‘anonymous’ one can’t be guilty of online harassment. So how far back does the accusation go to still be criminal? And do our laws/regulations cover this like the British laws do?

Mrs Farrow was investigated by the same police force in 2019 over allegations she had used the wrong pronoun to describe a transgender woman.
The Catholic campaigner, known for her deeply held religious views, and Susie Green, the head of transgender children’s charity Mermaids, clashed on ITV’s Good Morning Britain about Girl Guides allowing children who have changed gender to join the organisation.
Mrs Farrow later called Ms Green’s daughter Jackie ‘him’ instead of ‘her’ on Twitter and said Mermaids promoted child abuse. Five weeks later, Ms Green complained to police.
One of Mrs Farrow’s tweets read: ‘What she did to her own son [the youngest person in the world to undergo transgender surgery] is illegal. She mutilated him by having him castrated and rendered sterile while still a child.’

So here we are:
Using the ‘wrong’ pronouns can have you arrested.
Your religious beliefs are subordinate to and cancelled by a sociopaths mental and emotional confusion.
There will, Inshallah, be a reckoning.

Can an employer require their employees to get vaccinated in Victoria?
In general, employees must comply with lawful and reasonable directions from their employer. Whether an employer’s direction to get a COVID-19 vaccination is lawful and reasonable will depend on the circumstances.

If an employee is covered by a Mandatory Vaccination Order, and cannot perform their work at home, then their employer can require them to be vaccinated.

Where there is no legal requirement for an employer to have vaccinated staff, or if an employee can perform their work from home, then whether an employer can impose vaccination requirements will depend on the circumstances of each case.

The above from here.

In other words, yes.
But you know that.

Higgins didn’t see a doctor after alleged rape
Remy Varga
REMY VARGA

Ms Higgins said she didn’t see a doctor and took a pregnancy test in Perth about halfway through the 2019 election.

She said Mr Dillaway, a friend and former partner, urged her to see a doctor in the days after the alleged rape. Ms Higgins said she told him she went to a GP to reassure him but said she only went to see a doctor after the election but said the visit was more about addressing her mental health.

“I was prescribed anxiety medication to help me cope,” she said.

Ms Higgins said she had made it hard to verify the alleged assault before breaking down in tears, in the second police interview.

“I’m so stupid,” she said.

Ms Higgins said she and Mr Dillaway briefly rekindled their relationship after the alleged assault.

Ms Higgins said she remembered being nice to Mr Lehrmann in the office when she returned to work on the Monday after the alleged rape.

She said she was “scared of this person in a position of power over me” and they didn’t really speak other than the day-to-day operations of work. Ms Higgins described it as a “weird standoff” and she was still in shock and hadn’t fully processed what had happened.

Ms Higgins said she was at the “bottom of the food chain” in the office.

She remembered “being nice” to her alleged ropist when she returned to work the Monday after the (alledged) rope.

In this neck of the woods, apart from going out for necessities, the unvaxxed were banned from leaving home from the 11/10/21 (when life returned to “normal” for the vaxxed), until they were finally allowed to re-join society on the 15/12/21.

Just to repeat for the third time. Healthcare and aged workers are still required. I’m not sure about teachers. There no longer is a government mandate that people working outside the home have to show proof of vax or need to be vaxed. For the fourth time, if employers require the vax and you don’t, then tell the employer to go fuck themselves. There are plenty of jobs around at the moment anyway. We hired a couple of people in the past month and we didn’t even ask them about the vax. It’s not a government requirement.

Therefore the state government requires proof of vaccination for its employees to keep their jobs.

Several hundred thousand employees who will lose their jobs if they don’t provide are insufficient proof of a mandatory vaccination three? Claiming that the state government is not mandating vaxxes but is doing so simply because it is an employer is splitting an already razor thin hair.

Adrian Trevor Moore: Former cop claims he pressured ex-partner into bestiality because he wanted ‘rid of her’
Emily Moulton
The West Australian
Wed, 5 October 2022 5:57PM

An ex-police officer on trial accused of drugging and raping 13 women has claimed he only pressured a former partner to engage in bestiality because he was “trying to get rid of her” after she fell in love with him.

Adrian Trevor Moore made the shocking admission while he was being cross-examined after denying he continually coerced the ex into performing sex acts she had previously told him she did not want to do.

The 52-year-old has been on trial in WA’s District Court for the past three weeks accused of dozens of sexual assaults on the women over a 12-year period.

Those alleged attacks are all said to have happened after Mr Moore drugged them with an unknown substance and recorded many of them without their consent or knowledge.

Mr Moore took the stand on Wednesday where he denied violating the women claiming most of the sexual acts were either consensual or did not happen.

And I thought the Brittany Higgins case was a legal tangle…

Lysander at 6.24, and apropos of Senator Rod Culleton:

This guy is a piece of work. Not only did he rip off heaps of farmers in the Great Southern (and is yet to pay them back), he wrongfully locked out the new owners of the property that he bankrupted on and then told the AEC a bit fat lie that he wasn’t bankrupt (despite saying so on 60 Minutes some months earlier).

I received numerous shouty phonecalls from this douche telling me if I didn’t do X, I’d have a lot of angry farmers “turning up with guns.”

That would be this Rod Culleton, founder of the ex-Rod Culleton’s Great Australian Party:

The party was formally registered by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on 7 April 2019 and is associated with former senator Rod Culleton who had been elected in the 2016 Australian federal election as a senator for Western Australia, but subsequently found to have been ineligible and was disqualified.

The platform:

The party… proposes to implement trials by jury only in criminal matters, naming of young criminals who are serial offenders and the restoration of the “true” Constitution of Australia. This is despite numerous court decisions confirming the validity of the Australian Constitution.

The man:

Culleton has on numerous occasions declared the Australian Constitution is invalid and thus so are Australian courts. However in 2018…. whilst representing himself in recent bankruptcy proceedings being heard in the Federal Court of Australia, Culleton commenced his opening address by confirming the authority of the Federal Court of Australia by stating: “This Honourable Court has the power delegated to it by the Parliament of the Commonwealth under S 39B(1A) (b) and (c) Judiciary Act 1903 and by S 34AB (c) Acts Interpretation Act 1901…”

Well, I’ve just got back from breaking the Yom Kippur fast at a friend’s place. I sat at a table talking to two men I knew. One of the men described how he likes to listen to Radio 2GB in the morning and ABC radio in the afternoon. He says that way he gets a balance of politics. The other man, a very attractive man in his late 50s, who looks like some Marxist professor I would have had a crush on when I was 21, and who I knew to be a progressive, smirked and said that you’d have to be a right-wing conservative to like listening to Radio 2GB. I nodded and said “yes, that’s me, I’m a right-wing conservative”. He was quite taken aback and shocked. I felt really good, this is my Jewish New Year resolution, to be an out and proud right-wing conservative!

There was also a report about another bloke who was being a shoulder to cry on, telling Britnah to go to the doc and generally being an all round jolly good chap.
They then “briefly rekindled a previous relationship”.

Brih-nee is clearly the type of person described in certain circles as a ‘morale raiser’.

Watch him run when the book deal falls though after Lehrmann’s acquittal.

$250,000, of which La Higgins was going to donate half to a Canberra Rope crisis centre.

“Men used to build their own houses – nay, cities -, hunt mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers, and put out things like the Great Fire of London to protect their womenfolk.

This pooftah-pansy whored his woman out to the media for cash at the very first opportunity. Watch him run when the book deal falls though after Lehrmann’s acquittal.”

I think you’ve said it best.

Megan, the general mandate ended in late June in Vic. It’s now an employee, employer issue. Your comment is a little confusing if in fact you child works for the Vic government as they could very well have this requirement….. as an employer.

And what, exactly, is the difference? They are not only enabling, nay encouraging, employers to mandate jabs but are leading the way with their own employees. How many people do you think that might put in the same old position of having to choose between making a living and their health? A great many I would say. It is still coercion writ large and there can no longer be any excuse that it’s actually for anyone’s health – other than big pharma, of course.

I am surprised that CCI subs were all over the shop, they are generally good quality

I stopped using CCI subsonics in my CZ455 because the 1st round would exit 250 fps slower than the followups. Never found a reason but wonder if it was the wax coating. Standard 1070s were fine.

The Vic gov introduced the law to allow employers to discriminate on vat status. Some VIC departments are requiring up to date vax and this applies to service providers and contractors.

I know you are normally correct about everything but on Monday I am out on my arse, tonight you are talking out yours

Mc, Fair Work Australia has ruled that employers can’t sack unvaccinated employees if the employee can’t be vaccinated because the doctor refuses to give the vaccine.

Doctors can’t give the vaccine if the person says that they are there subject to duress, i.e., they are there to get the vaccine to keep their job. If a doctor injects someone when they have clearly stated that they are there only under duress, regardless of whatever waivers etc. that they have signed, then that doctor is guilty of assault and will lose their right to practice medicine.

The issue is it’s only legal for employers to make taxes a requirement of employment due to government making that legal.

It should be legal for an employer to mandate all ladies take the pill? All gaysto take anti-aids meds?

Because without government legislation underpinning it it would be as absurd as the 2 examples above.

Fortunately for pharmacists, this does not apply to them.
They injected with impunity, anybody who has presented under duress.

The issue for employers in the private sector is that this is legal arse covering thing – if they request vaccination.

But me, I have no issue with employers making what you and I see as unreasonable. Don’t work for unreasonable fuckheads. There are other jobs around. This is the issue that I see that’s pervasive in Australia. Folks think they own the job.

Something for the guncats

I was at the club today shooting this: S&W M&P9. I had a salted caramel Tim Tam afterwards.

Single or double stack

I always eat Tim Tams double stacked. The M&P, like all good 9mms, is also a double stacker.

People are not being “banned from going to church.” A football club has determined that somebody who believes gays should go to hell and that abortion is akin to the holocaust is not the best person to guide the club’s culture.

Cassidy is a crust faced, crust brained little commie; and like all commies should be cast into the deepest pits of hell.
