"Higgins trial implodes"

I wish she would implode.
- Sick of hearing about it.

Seems to me they both went out for drinks and were seen openly kissing / making out.
Then she gets herself spastically drunk and who knows what happened then...

Gets found naked in the Parliament House and word gets out, possibly back to her boyfriend so what does she do...

"He raped me".

Honestly I don't even care.
All of these stories these days are total bs.

Like that Grace Tame, Aussie of the year.
Didn't she set out to deliberately seduce her teacher and also set out to try to break up his marriage?

Then the hindsight narrative, 'He took advantage of me'.

Look at her now laughing all the way to the bank with an easy life at the expense of ruining someone else's.
- Probably gets paid for speeches to other disgruntled women.

Well played Grace, but you're still a piece of crap in my book.
- Brittany Higgins likewise.

Hey Alan B.
"And to never take advantage of a drunken lady!"

Do you think those same ladies weren't thinking about taking some drunken bloke home before they even set out for the night?

Let me tell you, just as often as not THEY WERE PLANNING on taking some half drunk guy home,
- That's the reason above all others why the went out in the first place..

Not just to 'dance with the girls' Alan B, but for some 'no-strings dick'.
- Women are sexual creatures too.

As for the blokes, well they went out just HOPING they might take someone home.

We can all pretend that women are innocent wholesome creatures who's minds resemble bible-study teachers, but it's really just a fantasy.
They go out to the club to get laid just the same as blokes do.

I see mention of two sure-fire methods for ascertaining when a person is not telling the truth.
That is all well and good.
However, knowing someone is lying or withholding information is one thing.
Knowing what that information is is quite another.
How can either of those 'methods' elicit the truth?
How can they cause someone to tell the story of their (possible) misdeeds?
Maybe, instead, that someone is trying to hide something innocent but embarrassing?
And anyway, under present law, they are not required to incriminate themselves?
What we need is an infallible but harmless truth drug?
And a legal framework to allow its use?

So true Armchair Critic. In the mid 60s I bought my yacht, & moved onto it at a marina in Sydney. It, with my motor racing was a great life style, with lots of interesting people living on boats there. But the yacht was an ex serious racing boat, not yet set up for storing all my gear. To overcome this I took a room in a share house at Mosman. It was a big place with 7 bedrooms, shared by 2 couples, 4 single girls & me.

I was pretty busy with motor racing & not into the "clubbing" scene at all, but I couldn't help noticing the girls were. There were often a couple or more strange men wandering around, or driving off Sunday mornings.

Early one morning one of the girls who hadn't "pulled" came into my room, & crawled into my bed. A few days later one of the couples led me aside & suggested sleeping with flat mates was a recipe for disaster, & gave me some examples she had seen. It didn't matter much, by then I was buying my business that gave me storage space, & the yacht fit out was well advances giving me suitable facilities for my gear, so I moved out of the share place.

Out of interest one Saturday night I visited the Mosman Pub , one of the "clubbing" sites at the time. It couldn't have been more obvious what people were doing there, with no couples, but groups of single blokes & birds flitting from table to table. I gather that was what most singles did.

Hassy, there has always been promiscuous behaviour in all societies, but there also has been rape. I'm sure back in the day your conquests were legendary, maybe not, but how does this relate to the Lehrmann trial? All the Prosecution has to prove is Lehrmann is guilty of rape, not an easy task I would say.

The role of the young buck, is to identify and repel the dangers of coquette ingenuity.
Here is the evidence of failure and it’s dramatic consequences!

Fathers, teach your sons well, (If you actually get the chance of any input towards their future welfare).
