Poor 'ol Gladys has been romantically dumped and dobbed in by a former colleague:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-12/nsw-premier-gladys-berejiklian-to-continue-role-after-icac/12758234

Don't ask me to say her last name.

But on this occasion, i sympathise with her. She has had a lover for 5 years who has broken her heart and her trust.

A politician deserves a private life in a romantic sense in this case. The media will undoubtedly cross the line and ask her to resign.

Guy sideswipes woman in Ballarat Victoria

and then....

gets out and blames her for the accident

and then....

briskly waddles over with his fist raised when she tries to photograph his number plate.

and then....

once he realises she has dashcam footage, decides to do a runner and leave the scene

and then....

the cops rock up and bust the brisk waddler.

Australia has just been over run with these lying deceitful muppets with no moral fibre.

Google threatens to leave Australians with no Google Service.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-22/google-stop-search-engine-australia-news-media-code/13079912

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Australians will determine the laws of Australia, not Google.

Only one message for Google.

Do it.

Life after Google:

We lived OK and well enough without Google.

I hope Facebook and Twitter get canned at the same time.

Scott Morrison has an issued an apology to a staffer who says she was raped by another staffer in the Defense Minister's office two years ago.

Quote
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison apologized Tuesday to a former government staffer who alleged that she was raped by a colleague in Parliament House two years ago.

Morrison promised an investigation into the alleged rape and the culture inside the country's political capital, a day after the former staff member went to the media with her story.
Brittany Higgins alleges she was raped by a former colleague in the defense minister's office after an evening work event in March 2019.

In an interview with Australia's Network 10 show "The Project" on Monday, Higgins said she tried to go home, but the unnamed colleague insisted they go to Parliament House in a taxi to "pick something up," where she passed out on a couch.

She told "The Project" she woke up to find her colleague on top of her "mid-rape," and when she repeatedly asked him to stop, he didn't. Higgins has not publicly identified her alleged rapist.

Higgins said she spoke with the police in early April 2019, but decided against making a formal complaint amid concerns about her career prospects. "It's just not the right decision for me personally, especially in the light of my workplace demands," she wrote, according to Australia's news.com.au. Police in Canberra confirmed to Reuters they had spoken to a complainant in April 2019, but she chose not to make a formal complaint.

....


Defense Minister Linda Reynolds told Parliament on Monday that she didn't know the substance of the allegations when she called the meeting with her staff member, and "had I known, I would have conducted the meeting elsewhere."

Morrison on Tuesday apologized to Higgins and promised an investigation. The Prime Minister said that the alleged perpetrator was "quite swiftly" fired for breaching security by entering Parliament House on the night of the alleged rape.

"That should not have happened, and I do apologize," Morrison told reporters in Canberra. "I want to make sure any young woman working in this place is as safe as possible."

Tough conversations need to be had, were held, and initially she did not want to put in a complaint due to an election.

But now she appears to be more willing to press charges, as is her right.

Appalling situation and the perpetrator will most likely be brought to justice.

Facebook bans Australian news, Emergency and Community services and politicians pages.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-18/facebook-acting-like-dictator-with-news-ban-wa-premier-says/13167656

Facebook banned the WA Liberal opposition leader, Zak Kirkup's page, but left alone his opponent, WA Labor Premier Mark McGowan's page.

Interestingly, my Facebook feed has not changed at all. No political ads leading up to the state election.

Do we really want Emergency Services on Facebook?

Defence Minister Linda Reynolds has paid compensation to a former aide who said she called her a "lying cow".

Quote
Australia's Defence Minister Linda Reynolds has paid compensation to a former aide who she called a "lying cow" after she alleged she had been raped by a former colleague.

The confidential settlement also includes a donation to a sexual assault charity.

She apologised to Brittany Higgins for making the slur at her in her office in February.

Ms Higgins had publicly accused another staff member of raping her in 2019.

In public the minister had stood behind her former employee when she made the accusation.

Ms Reynolds remains on sick leave and on Friday posted an apology on social media, adding she "did not mean it in the sense it may have been understood".

"Given that the comment was made public, which I never intended, I also want to retract it and unreservedly apologise to Brittany Higgins and acknowledge the hurt and distress it caused to her," she explained.

The sense is that Brittany was lying about being raped as opposed to being promiscuous with young male staffers. She was not saying she was lying about being raped.

I think what she was trying to say 'privately' was that she was lying about something else.

The Christian Porter rape allegation has got much more attention than this episode.

Western Australian State Election Results:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/wa/2021/results?filter=all&sort=az

Landslide win for the Labor Party.

The Liberal Party have been devastated to near zero seats. They have gone from leading the state comfortably for 8 years up until 4 years ago, and now have managed only 2 seats out of 60 in the 2021 election.

The entire Liberal Party members elected in Western Australia can literally drive to work in a Toyota Corolla.

Labor Premier Mark McGowan for 87.5% of the vote in his electorate:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/wa/2021/guide/rock

WA has become a pandemic-induced socialist utopia.

Sydney social media influencer (TikTok)Panoria Nukunuku, was harassed at a McDonald's by an elderly woman who thought he shouldn't be parking in a disabled space in the parking lot, despite his having a prosthetic leg. 

Quote
An Australian social media influencer man confronted an elderly woman in McDonalds after she questioned his disabled parking permit, and angrily showed her his prosthetic leg.

Paniora Nukunuku, a social worker based in Sydney, was challenged by the woman while he was sitting in his car.

He uploaded the footage of the encounter on TikTok, sharing it with his 158,000 followers.


'Obviously you can't see my disability if I'm in the car, so please tell me why this old lady thought it would be a great idea to approach me and knock on my window and demand to know whether this is mine or not?' he said.


He then showed off his artificial leg, which gave him the right to have a disabled parking spot

He captioned the video: 'You are not the disability police.'

Nukunuku, who highlights discrimination on his social media accounts, then followed the woman into McDonalds, and showed her his missing leg.


She said she 'desperately needs it', and 'that there were times' - but he cuts her off before she can finish.

'Is it because I don't look disabled? Is it because I don't look old that you want to approach me?' he says.

After large rain events, snake catchers in Queensland are predicting much higher numbers of people needing help catching the slithering reptiles.

Woman dies inside charity bin in Queensland:

https://7news.com.au/news/qld/woman-found-dead-in-gold-coast-charity-bin-was-not-homeless-police-believe-c-2518117

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-05/woman-found-dead-in-charity-bin-at-gold-coast-shopping-centre/100048692

It looks like she climbed into the bin to steal clothes and got trapped.

She died as a result of being stuck half way in and upside down in the clothes chute.

Stealing from charity bins is rife at the moment after the post COVID-stimulus ends forcing people to move house and dump clothes en-masse.

OK,

Scott Morrison has paused all flights from India to Australia as case numbers on incoming flights start to climb.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-27/scott-morrison-pause-flights-india-covid-outbreak/100098322

After May 15, we will send our south Asian cousins to detention centres in the country out of the metropolis zones to avoid the massive lockdowns experienced from the occasional case.
