Now look what's back on the board:

This is just becoming an absolute joke!

Maybe we should get rid of rule by modern democracy and go back to having an hereditary monarch run the show because all we seem to have ended up with is a bunch of politicians who want to wield autocratic power and authority.

Our democratic political system is as dodgy as our home building industry system.

Mr O,

I do believe Gladys and Daryl carried off the Eddie Obeid Memorial Trophy for the third year running, best double act before the ICAC. Their song and dance routine was spectacular. Johnny Sidoti was left in a poor second place with a solo performance of The Five Dock Double Shuffle.

Paul, again with the "make it up as you go along".
Your going to have to refresh my memory about me saying there is no such thing as rape.
Based on my beliefs, I have always said that for it to be "rape", there needs to be a physical attack, whereby the woman is subdued and then taken advantage of.
To make sure you and every other wall flower out there don't get it wrong, I'll come at it from another angle, more relative to this case.
A female gets pissed, because she's as good as any man and can devour ten middies in a single round.
She's feeling horny, because she is an emancipated female and can do what she wants.
She decides at some point, she wants sex.
When the act is done she collapses into a drunk induced sleep, in the bosses office, where I believe the little "love-in" took place.
He in the meantime has gathered himself up and moved on, home I presume, but not relevant.
She get's sprung the next morning and quickly gathers up her clothes and belongings and scarpers.
Many, many, many moons later, because it turns out she is mentally and emotionally disturbed, through some epiphany, decides to ruin a man, his family and anyone she can because she happened to realise that she was a slut and didn't like what she was, which then obviously led to her taking her own life.
This whole debacle is so cliché and so typical of maggots today.
And you want to blame men for this type of behaviour?
Paul when the females decide they have had enough of whatever the hell it is they are trying to do, and go back to being women again, you know those wonderful people we all used to love and admire and worship even, the sooner society will be in balance again and all will be in harmony once more.
Now if she had IMMEDIATELY latched onto the first person that she came across the next morning.
Maybe?
But I doubt it.
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY "NOT RAPE"!

Alti,

You seem to be creating one person out of two. You began with something which one would assume to be loosely related to Brittany Higgins, what you refer to as the "emancipated female" and a load of supposition. You then go on "to her taking her own life", which seems to relate to the girl who was 16 years old at the time, and claimed she was raped by Christian Porter. Like your fictitious argument, you take it upon yourself to created a fictitious female character.

A look at Christian Porter, the white man born to rule. In his own words Porter claims to have “smut [my] way through law school”. By all accounts, a real piece of work. But the drinking and carry on didn't prevent Porter from being the golden boy of the WA Liberal Party. Porter was a finalist in Cleo Magazine’s bachelor of the year. According to Kathleen Foley, a barrister who knew Porter from his university days said on Four Corners “I’ve known him to be someone who was in my opinion, and based on what I saw, deeply sexist and actually misogynist in his treatment of women, in the way that he spoke about women,” The four Corners episode painted a very different picture of the touted future prime minister — one where Porter looked like a "frat boy" who didn’t know when the party was over. Porter's wild reputation still pervades the bars and night clubs where Canberra's political class congregate.

"But the stench of this week means you will probably never be prime minister. Those questions, so rarely asked of men like you, will now always hang over your career. Perhaps that, in itself, will be your lasting achievement."

Paul, if you had a grip on reality and not some bias view of your reality, your comments might mean something.
I don't care what HE did, because what HE did was quite normal for the time.
I don't even care what some bias maggot had to say about HIM, because she was obviously no better.
You can denigrate the man as much as you like, again, "I" don't care.
I only care about the truth and nothing but the truth.
You seem to relish in that "he said, she said", world.
Boy, you must be bored if you can waste time on something as pathetic as a couple having sex.
I think you need to subscribe to a new porn site, if this is what you get off on.
Paul, give it up, I'm only commenting because you keep responding, and the topics on OLO have for some months declined sharply in value and relevance, and this is a prime example.
Tell you what, if you stop writing the rubbish you continue to write, I'll have no reason to waste MY time correcting you, and hopefully, someone will post a decent topic or two, otherwise I'm going to have to go into self exile and settle for my other forums instead.
So stop re-writing the stories to suite your bias agenda, and accept the uncomfortable and inconvenient truth, for a change.
Your version of events are so bias and twisted against the truth, that it's hard to take you seriously any more.
I think we keep responding to your fantasies simply because we don't want people to think we agree with your twisted logic and bent view of the world.

Why is it when the likes of Barilano, Reynolds and Porter find themselves in hot water they get a sore head and have to book into a health unit?

"Giovanni! Giovanni! Dove andare?"

"Si, si . . . . I a gotta a sore a brain and a donna wanta answer any mora questions . . . . Scusi scusi I gotta go to da ospedale. Ciao! Ciao!"
