As much as I hate to state this, because I hate potentially discounting genuine events, it looks like #MeToo_v2 is about to surface in Australian media and politics.
Serious allegations must be supported with serious evidence, we can never allow the judicial system to descend into a Kangaroo Court of unsubstantiated allegations supported by unsubstantiated opinions.
Already we have the Sexual Assault version of VAERS running, where anonymous individuals can publicly blog unsubstantiated claims against pretty much an unlimited number of organisations and individuals. I fear for the people running these blogs, they probably have good intent, but they could well find themselves on the end of very serious and very substantial defamation cases.
It's an oldy but a goody, two wrongs do not make a right!
The Attorney General no less, has identified himself as the man at the centre of historical rape allegations.
