Dear Paul,

Thanks for "The Tracker," I've seen it several times.
Brutal film. Very moving. Speaks for itself.

Senator Mick Dodson, Australian of the Year, has been accused of threatening to assault a woman (aboriginal) and using sexually degrading language towards her.

Senator Dodson has "no recall of the incident".

There's one for you racial, feminist, lefty busy bodies to get stuck into before people - unlike you - who know what they are doing deal with it; just like another politician recently, before the Senator gets to defend himself. Treat him the same as a white man, and believe the woman. Would love to see that, but won't, of course.

In this country we have the law and people
have a right to have their cases heard by
the court and the accused have the right to
defend themselves.

In the case of Craig McLachlan - he was a man
who only saw himself as a victim and that was
made clear in the TV interview. He thought it
outrageous he should be put through the
court process and instead of feeling vindicated
attacked those who dared to question him.

McLachlan did not come out looking like a hero.
He came out as someone who has certainly been
through the wringer, but also as someone who is a
narcissist and not able to see the other side
of the story.

McLachlan missed the whole point. Instead of
learning lessons he saw himself as the victim.

"Well, it's not brain surgery!"

Well apparently, for some, it is.

Let's assume the women were traumatised. Let's assume they didn't say anything because they feared for their jobs. Let's assume.

So in 2014 they get viciously assaulted by receiving a peak on the lips. But they remain quiet because they fear they'll lose their jobs on the show.

Then in 2015 the show finishes. So they no longer have a job to lose. So they remain traumatised but say nothing even though there's no longer anything to lose.

Ditto in 2016. There is no show. So they no longer have a job to lose. So they remain traumatised but say nothing even though there's no longer anything to lose.

Then in 2017 there is a show and the person they fear is in the show. And what do these poor traumatised, sexually assaulted women do? They apply for a job in the show. They apply for a job working with their rapist. Perfectly understandable? Yeah, sure.


Then in 2017 they don't get the job. Boy, I bet they were relieved they didn't get the job they wanted.

Then in 2018 one of the women chases their rapist and his partner down the streets of Melbourne to gush over how much she misses him etc etc.

Then in 2018 the ABC comes a-knocking. And the women suddenly decide they need to talk. Although when they talk they are required by the ABC to say what the ABC tells them to say. But they all agree the aim is to get MacLachlin sacked. Does that sound like unhinged revenge seeking for failing to get hired?

You're right Foxy. Its not brain surgery. Although those who fall for these stories could probably use some.

McLachlan's behaviour included inappropriate
touching and kissing, running his finger along
a woman's inner thigh, tracing his finger over
a woman's vulva, using his tongue in a stage
kiss, and pressing his groin into a woman in an
unasked for hug. All of which were accompanied by a
litany of sexual jokes and "pranks" as McLachlan
called them, some of which apparently happened on stage
where the women were performing and could not react
publicly. All of this happened in a workplace that should
have been safe and comfortable for the women concerned.

And if you don't understand this mhaze - then you have a
serious problem.

It was later claimed that "McLachlan's behaviour included ....."

There you go - fixed it for you.
