Not only Thorpe, but an ex-Liberal Senator and an anonymous squealer.

And, don't forget Dutton, who jumped in, a la Morrison, to trash the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

Nobody knows how Thorpe remains in Parliament, but the same question applies to 80% of the no-hopers there, who have said nothing about Dutton’s obvious disregard for the rule-of-law. Three leaders in a short space of time have displayed appalling misjudgement: Morrison, Albanese, and now Dutton.

Keep up the good work; males these days are too pussy-whipped to stand up for themselves.

The problem is hardly hidden under a big rock.

Without a compliant Public Prosecutor, none of this nonsense would be in its unfolding stage.

One would wonder what the end stage will look like.

Maybe it’s not too difficult to imagine that a future for men and boys will include snipping the nuts of boys along with circumcision early on. I guess that in effect means turning the male species into Eunuchs.

Great idea. That one falls into line with rainbow ideology.

There is a song, Silver Dollar by Petula Clark that sates that "a man with out a woman is like a ship without a rudder," but then states "there is only one thing worse in the universe, & that's a woman without a man".

If the feminists keep up their ratbagery there are likely to be a lot of such women & it will be no one elses fault but theirs.

More utter drivel from Arndt.

Claire Lehmann’s estimate that 639,000 women have experienced sexual assault by men is not “absurd”. The ABS data do indeed refer to all women who experienced an assault in the past 10 years. Taking lifetime experience into account, the number is much larger – 2.2 million women have experienced sexual assault since the age of 15. Taking a single year, it is smaller.

The ABS number is much larger than the number of police reports because:
a) Most victims of sexual assault do not report it to the police (about 13%, according to the same ABS report)
b) The police report records assault in a single year, not a 10-year period.

The ABS also provides a 10-year estimate of assaults reported to police - 221,751.

The ABS estimate was not “concocted by extrapolating” from a survey. Sample surveys are the bread and butter of statistical agencies and are used in the estimates of everything from unemployment rates to inflation.

Arndt’s attempts to diminish the seriousness of sexual assault short of rape are particularly vile. Yes, there are forms of sexual assault that are less serious than rape. But they are still assaults. The ABS defines sexual assault as “rape, attempted rape, aggravated sexual assault (assault with a weapon), indecent assault, penetration by objects, forced sexual activity that did not end in penetration and attempts to force a person into sexual activity”. All of these are criminal offences. Less serious acts are considered sexual harassment.
