To understand just how complicit police can be, watch Victim/Suspect on Netflix - two rape victims report their assaults to police and end up being charged for lying and sent to prison.

I had a chat to my 12yo about this today and when I asked him what he would do (if he received the group message) i could see him searching for the ‘right’ answer. As soon as I switched it and said, ‘if you were her, what would you hope the people in that chat would do’, it was really simple.

Re the Cornell 7: roughly 50% of rape/ SA happens after consumption of alcohol and over 80% are committed by someone known to the victim. Nearly every woman can relate to this aspect of this case. The attempt to create a grey area around this is an attempt to diminish sexual assault.

“The ideology behind the think tank that runs NatCon … belongs to a pro-Israel faction. Its leader, Yoram Hazony, published The Virtue of Nationalism in 2018… Hazony was a speechwriter and advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu… He is now ensconced as a trustee at Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation.”

If humans hacked Medicare and the NSW govt they would be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. If Russia or China hacked Medicare and the NSW govt, just imagine the international incident. OpenAI gets to call it a whoopsie and… keep doing it? Nice for some.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

It's one thing to issue fake invoices. But someone then has to sign off on the goods having been received in order to trigger payment; against a purchase order that also had to be faked... And then no-one questions why an organisation the size of the NGV is buying 4-5,000 phones.

There has to be a better way to control inflation. Increase super contributions(out of wages)? Reduces spending while increasing savings? I'm no economist, but increasing interest rates only hurts about 1/3 the population and doesn't help anyone. Artificially increasing unemployment helps no one.
