l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

When you crunch the numbers, the way the media frames the debate on immigration is simply un-Australian. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/14/i...

One of legacy media’s big problems? How it frames migration is, statistically, un-Australian
The second episode of the ABC's National Forum will look at "Australia's migration challenge". It's proof, yet again, that the media is asking the wrong questions.

Abortion control has never been about saving babies. It has ALWAYS been about controlling women. If it was about babies, they'd be wanting to pump heaps of $$$ into pediatric health, childcare & raising the rate of Family benefit #auspol

Several of One Nation's leaders have expressly said they will ban all abortion for all girls & women, then 'clarified' they meant just the ones they decide should be forced to give birth. Believe them first. Believe them when they're not spinning. A One Nation vote is a vote for forced birth.
One Nation's NSW boofhead leader in orange short and hat caught saying it will wipe out abortion rights for girls & women, then saying whoops I meant just the ones we decide must give birth.

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true
