Foxy,

One woman saying it was common knowledge doesn't make it common knowledge. If it was common knowledge it would have been described at the trial as such since it would have gone to bolstering the complainant's assertions.

It wasn't described as common knowledgnge at the trial because it wasn't common knowledge.

And it wasn't common knowledge because it wasn't common. It was just a few malcontents responding to the ABC's search for 'victims', saying what the ABC told them to say and then relying on the thoroughly corrupt Victorian Police to save them from the defamation lawsuit.

mhaze,

There's more than just one actress involved.
And it was common knowledge - in the industry.
A document released by the Supreme Court gives
more details - It will be used by the
Defence.

In any case, we shall see what pans out in the
future with this case.

Interesting times ahead.

Once again I think that this discussion has run
its course so as is my usual habit - I'd like to
Thank the contributors for taking the time and
trouble to participate. Discussions should make
us think and hopefully learn and benefit from them.
This one has certainly made me do that.

I read somewhere that "all personal breakthroughs
begin with a change in beliefs..."

Hopefully the interactions between men and women
in our society will improve and that men won't
need the love of a "good woman" to keep them in
check.

Women today are trying to tell men
they're sick of being their moral compass.
Women in workplaces around the country
should not be expected to tell men when they've gone
to far. Men need to stop constantly testing the
boundaries of acceptable behaviour.

Have a nice day.

Women in workplaces around the country should not be expected to tell men when they've gone
too far.

Foxy,
isn't that the crux of the problem ? Women change the boundaries like a Gerrymander, it's time they put their cards on table for all to see, particularly for men with money !
How can women expect men to gauge the limits when the limits of women are limitless ?

Individual,

It's common for men to be wild in their younger days
to claim their wives now "keep them in check"
implying that it's only the love of a "good woman"
that can keep a man from becoming a marouding
idiot. This is not so much a compliment as an
added responsibility for the woman.

The celebrity - Kyle Sandilands has Jackie O, to tell
him "Oh, I think you've gone too far, Kyle."
Johnny Cash sand to June Carter, "Because you're
mine. I walk the line." He passed the responsibility
onto her for his behaviour.

Women today are trying to tell men - we're sick of
being your moral compass. You're not toddlers.
You're mother does not work here anymore - wash
your own dishes.

Hillary Clinto famously said - "Bill is
philandering. He was a hard dog to keep on the
porch."

So women in workplaces around the country have had
enough. They are sick and tired of playing the
mummy role.

Individual,

McLachlan is seeking $6.5m in damages. His
defamation trial has been referred to the court for
a trial date likely to be late this year. In the
interview McLachlan did not come out looking like
a hero. He came out as someone who is a narcissist
with his partner playing the mummy role and trying
to calm him down. McClachlan was not able to see
the other side of the story. How his behaviour was
not acceptable.

He missed the whole point instead of learning
lessons he saw himself as a victim = and that was
made clear in the interview.

He thought it outrageous that he should be put
through the court process and instead of feeling
vindicated attacked those who dared to question him.

No trial is cheap. Common sense dictates that given
what's happened - the parties should explore a
resolution. But of course McLachlan is not likely
to do that. His ego stand in the way.
