I'm still trying to understand how this woman was awarded by The Commonwealth Govt 3 million dollars of OUR money ?
Yep, Katie Gallagher was the Labor attack dog, helped by the corrupt media. Interestingly, Janet Albrechtsen's excellent article, published in the Australian on Saturday, which damns both Higgins' claims and the $3m payout (there is an email from the appropriate department that said that Reynold's office had followed the correct process) has been severely edited over the course of the weekend, 60% of the content is gone. No doubt Higgins' lawyers threatened to sue and/or pressure has been applied from Labor. Shocking abuse of power by Labor and a shocking misuse of public funds. This is 3rd world corruption in plain sight.
What always amuses me is the leftwing flogs who carry on about corruption within a coalition Govt and see themselves as on the Right of all that is good,remain silent. Gallagher's classic high-powered Communist enjoys the benefits of the wealthy and the privileged.
I doubt we will ever be told what happened or the details re Gallagher's role in the issue and the payment value.
The corruption stems from the fact that Gallagher benefited from the political damage done to the Liberal party (she would not be Finance Minister otherwise) and then approved the $3m payment. Where is the independent review? Where is the accountability when spending large amounts of taxpayer's money? We now know that Higgins' claim wouldn't have stood up in court, because of the email from HR that confirmed that Reynolds' office had followed the correct procedures. She didn't deserve to be paid. All the damage to her reputation was self inflicted. She got drunk and entered the Defence Minister's office without permission. She deserved to be fired for it but only the male staffer was. The rape story was her attempt after the event to deflect from her actual crime. Every Australian should be angry at how we've been played for fools.
Yep that is how I see it . PLUS add the time lines and nothing makes sense ,even the trail were she was placed in hospital,the clothing ,the looks ...oh and now on Twitter ,holidays OS for all to see , . Add the boyfriend and his relationship with Gallagher ,the book deal timing , it stinks .
Morrison was terrified of the fallout from women voters, he threw all the rules of sub-judice under a bus for nothing more than political survival. Meanwhile, this is how Higgins actually behaves: Detective Superintendent Scott Moller was in charge of the AFP investigation. After a four-month investigation of evidence presented by Higgins, with police travelling across the country to check facts in her story, examining 32,736 phone messages and 173,531 media files from Higgins’ phone, Moller concluded that “throughout the investigation, Ms Higgins has been evasive, uncooperative and manipulative.” The report cites: - Her repeated refusal to hand over her phone. When she finally did, she had deleted key evidence: “I’m clearing out my phone ahead of police,” she acknowledged. - Her claim to have sought medical attention and the morning-after pill after the incident. The police travelled to Perth and Brisbane and found she’d misled them about the medical assistance. She later admitted she’d lied about this.
And the dress, how it was placed under a bed, never to be worn again. Yet weeks later there is a photo of her in it at a function!
Makes perfect sense to me. I've worked my ass off for 30 years to get about 1/3rd of that amount saved up for retirement... I should have just gotten hammered and f*cked some dude in parliament house, I would have been set by the time I was 25. What can I say. The future is female. I'm off to start up an only fans page.
late last year, a 25 year old marketing assistant, who had been recently employed by the charity I was nominally in charge of, announced in a staff meeting that she no longer identified as CIS gender and that her pronouns from then on were they/them. This was said with a clear attitude of threat, "do as I say or I will make trouble". Of course the (90% female) management staff rushed to say this wasn't a problem at all. Then the suggestion was made that they/them become the only pronouns we use - to remove any risk of offending someone. I was only able to end the discussion by pointing out that a significant portion of the people we were trying to serve would find this offensive. Race trumps gender in the grievance pyramid of marxist Critical Theory. Make no mistake, we are in a losing battle for our culture. Within 10 years they/them will be the only acceptable terms in public discourse. Children will be taught that "Jack has a ball. They likes to play with it" is correct grammar. Anyone who doesn't comply will be charged with hate-speech. It's already happening. These are the "hate crime" stats for the UK: 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Transgender 1,703 2,329 [x] 2,799 4,355 A 56% increase from '21 to '22. Transgender hate speech is the fastest growing "hate crime". 4,355 people were charged by police for not complying with transgender dictated speech, no doubt the majority based on social media posts, which are actively monitored by AI software. What's the bet 90% charged were male? https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hate-crime-england-and-wales-2021-to-2022/hate-crime-england-and-wales-2021-to-2022 The future is female and it will be a disaster for humanity.
So glad I'm the age I am and in a life situation where the effect on me is FO Ta "Honey " for the update.
When I think about all the anarchy in today's world, esp the 'culture wars', I often think about Billy Joel's song "we didn't start the fire" and try to dismiss what is happening now always has been a part of human history. But somehow, something about what is happening now is so fundamental that I truly feel genuinely worried about the future. P.S Although I accept some people want to be transgender, what I find hypocritical is that if one wanted to go on an extreme hormone therapy to become a woman (or man for that matter), this is medically and socially acceptable despite the clear long term risks however one couldn't go on a course of steroids to become a body builder without going to some dodgy drug dealer.
Last year, a mate told me his wife’s workplace (fairly large organization) was having a ‘women’s only’ get together. It was a Friday for lunch in order to raise a little money and awareness for breast cancer. One employee who was genetically a female but didn’t identify as one, made a formal complaint close to the day and the whole thing was cancelled at short notice. They’re now turning on their own
