Mr Uneducated,

In one sanctimonious fit, you would have done exactly what the police commissioner said you shouldn't and would have infringed the victim's rights and privacy.

Thank god no one every let you make an important decision.

Linda Reynolds failed in her duty of care to a young employee Brittany Higgins, who had confided to her a serious allegation of a criminal nature, her rape in the minsters office, late at night by another Liberal staffer. Instead of offering real support and empathy to Ms Higgins, Reynolds chose to take the political path and do her best to cover up the matter. Reynolds even went to the extent of having cleaners in to clean the sofa on which the alleged offence took place. Reynolds, suspecting a criminal offence had taken place was legally obliged to discreetly contact the AFP, something she failed to do. This time in the "sick bed" is a ploy to keep Reynolds from answering thorny questions about the matter. Reynolds should resign or be sacked!

Well what do you know? Our greenie mate wants cabinet ministers sticking their noses into the private activities or Canberra workers. Can you imagine the huge stink they would pull if it actually happened to one of them, & their dirty linen was broadcast for all to see.

As for rape allegations, come on mate, we all know the scenario.
Girl has a drunken one nigh stand with a work mate. She doesn't like the way her behavior makes her feel about herself the next day. Doesn't like feeling like a bit of a tart, so decides she wouldn't have done such a thing just because she was drunk. It can't be her fault, so it must have been rape.

I don't know about your circles, but back in my younger days, it was the girl taking the young bloke to bed as often as the other way around. I can recall more than a few young blokes walking down the isle as we did in those days, with a rather surprised expression on their face, trying to figure out how all this happened.

Paul, I should not be surprised as you overreact to anything YOU don't like or agree with.
I suppose that's fine, if the situation in question did not come with savagely over virtuous accusations and ultimately, extremely severe consequences, all because females today want to conduct themselves like males.
It is expected, no, demanded of us and approved by nature, that the male of a species, mate with the female of the same species.
Now so many people have given a very concerted account of this stupid and pathetic waste of time, instigated by a very stupid and pathetic waste of space, who is the typical young female of today.
Emotional and indecisive, to mention just two of their many flaws.
Paul, you can try and make this about rape, but who exactly was raped?
And as for a moronic judicial system and laws, just as bad as the wording, I would like to meet the morons who worded these laws.
Such as; Sexual assault!
What, did a guy attack a female with his penis as to cause her GBH?
The word rape, I understand.
A person of a particular sex, forces themselves onto another of the opposite sex, for the purpose of engaging in sexual intercourse with the other person.
That's pretty clear, but all this other rubbish is not.
As I have said before, it is absolutely unrealistic and un-acceptable that a person be charged and convicted of a crime which occurred decades ago when the law/system accepted that kind of behaviour, or at least, did not feel the need to charge or prosecute at the time.
So the morons and absolute deviant mongrels who decide to use todays laws to charge someone of an offence which happened decades ago, under todays laws, is just beyond anything any reasonable and intelligent man should have to tolerate today.
And some of you wonder why I disagree with so many and so much of this country.
I would not need to say a thing if people actually had a brain, or at least used what little brain they do have.

shifty & shady minister,

That's alright, I think we all know what was going on.

And I think we all know the reason the Minister did not want to pursue the matter.

Mr uneducated,

From your previous comments, I know that you don't have a clue as to what is going on.

Pauliar,

Given your complete inability to point out what Reynolds did inappropriately, why should she resign and not for example Bill Shorten?
