AC,

People can emote about domestic violence, and politicians can promise all sorts of things; but it will never stop. A society that can suggest that there is a place for a program like 'Married At First Sight' is a pretty stuffed up one. The same applies to online dating and the modern version of mail order brides. Nothing happens naturally any more. Then there is drugs and alcohol, which lower inhibitions, and has people 'rooting like rabbits' and using sex as a pastime or sporting activity. There is also the nonsense of 'gender equality' which ignores the obvious differences between the sexes and their roles in life. It's a miracle that there is not more domestic violence: violence that occurs in private, often without warning, and far beyond the control of outsiders like politicians and busybodies.

Surprisingly there has been not much said about another recipient of Honours, Rose Batty.

"MARK LATHAM’S OUTSIDERS REPORT
February 19th 2018

EXCLUSIVE MARK LATHAM'S OUTSIDERS REPORT: THE SAD TRUTH ABOUT THE LUKE BATTY FOUNDATION
KEY POINTS:
• The Foundation established by Rosie Batty in memory of her son closes down
• Financial mismanagement and abuse of female staff remain unreported by most mainstream media
• Left-feminists pushed Rosie Batty into the media spotlight, without allowing her a decent period of recovery; they used her for political purposes.
One of the rules of media management in Australian politics is to dump out bad news on a Friday afternoon, avoiding full scrutiny as media outlets wind down for the weekend. Late last Friday it was reported that after three years of operation, the Luke Batty Foundation (LBF) was being closed. The mainstream media praised the outgoing CEO Rosie Batty but did not publish the truth about the Foundation: it had been plagued by financial irregularities, alarming personnel turnovers and abuse of female staff.
The Foundation’s website has not published financial accounts since 30 June 2016, leaving 20 months unaccounted for at the time of the closure announcement. In just three years the Foundation had 16 different board directors, losing nine along the way. It has also had a revolving door of staff departures, with several leaving because they found it impossible to work with Rosie Batty.
I’m not surprised by the Foundation’s closure. Having been contacted by whistleblowers appalled by its management practices, I knew about its dysfunctionality. I was also aware of how the mainstream media didn’t want to know about this story. They had invested heavily in the legend of Saint Rosie and are in no position to turn around and now say: ‘We got it wrong’.
The whistleblowers who contacted me are very brave. They passed on documents and worrying reports about Rosie Batty. But they also lived in fear, believing they would be further harassed and victimised if their names became public. One actually was, receiving an intimidating email from Batty, simply on suspicion...."

Heard anything about this?

Only that Andrew Fairley the head of the Luke Batty Foundation rejects Latham's claims. Maybe evidence is what you want. Latham has a history of shooting off at the mouth without providing evidence.

As you do, Porky!

Bit of a case of the cooking utensil stating that the spouted water boiling vessel is lacking in all colour.

Interesting info regarding Rosie Batty.

"Maybe evidence is what you want. Latham has a history of shooting off at the mouth without providing evidence."

Surely the failure to lodge financial statements could be verified.
That should tell you if somethings a little bit off.
Hard to verify staff claims if they aren't willing to state it publicly.
Hard to know whether one person is being truthful or malicious.
And if even if two staff state it publicly, it still may not be the truth.

Hopefully more info will come to light.
