    I'm thrilled to share this news. This is the book I've had in my head for the past 5 years. It will be quite the ride, examining the fault lines created when survivor advocacy, media law, journalism ethics, & news values collide + exploring core q's re: Aus feminism today.

    "Telling women to have ‘situational awareness’ is deeply unhelpful because it assumes that women aren’t already constantly micromanaging their own safety in a bid to forward manage the poor behaviour of some men." news.com.au/lifestyle/real… via @newscomauHQ

    Channel 7: Hang your heads in shame. It is now a fact at law that you harboured a rapist. You gave him a national platform to smear his rape victim. What message did that send his victim? What message did it send EVERY other rape victim in this country? #IStandWithBrittany

    George Pell is dead. Today I remember every victim and survivor of child sexual abuse who was harmed by him & every paedophile he covered for. Today I remember all those victims who are no longer with us. And I stand with all those survivors who still are. #GeorgePell

    Just a clarification to media. LetHerSpeak was not a campaign which Grace Tame ran & I reported on I created & ran it for 4 years, including the media, fundraising, legal & political strategy. I organised Grace's legal work & that of another 17survivors who Grace doesnt know.

    What exactly did they think would happen when they organised this photo op? Grace Tame is not the type to lie about how she feels. And nor should we ever put her in a position where she is expected to. #LetHerSpeak #aoty2021 #AOTY2022

    UPDATE:Today, Linda Reynolds' lawyers tried to subpoena me - another survivor - in the defamation matter. They told the court they had learned through Saxon Mullins' subpoena that I had drafted a fundraiser for Britt Higgins (yes, my involvement was already publicly disclosed)🧵

    Today, I've written a blistering 1700 word analysis of how #StAndrews school has responded to the brutal death of #LilieJames, but also to previous cases where their students &staff were caught upskirting, sexually assaulting & even choking teen girls. /1 news.com.au/lifestyle/real…

    Let's remember that when #LilieJame's killer, Paul Thijssen started at #StAndrews school: -the headmaster had recently downplayed a male teacher being caught upskirting 3 female students -that teacher (who was a son of a judge) was convicted but allowed to serve his sentence (1/3

    A NSW judge has minimised a man repeatedly raping his own 13 y o step daughter by painting him a "war hero" & saying he was merely "seeking comfort & affection in the wrong place". #JusticeShouldntHurt /1 news.com.au/lifestyle/real…

    So it turns out Scott appropriated a photo op which was to mark someone else's DEAD KIDS to make him look good on FATHERS DAY. Total erasure of the context & deceased kids names. Willful centring of his own parent-status. Totally insensitive to bereaved parents.
