This message is to every Australian journalist covering the Reynolds v Higgins defamation trial in WA. I have read all your articles on the Reynolds defamation trial and am curious why you haven’t included any of the evidence Ms Young presented to the Court, that seriously challenges Linda Reynolds and Fiona Brown's accounts of when they first learned of the sexual assault? For example, yesterday Christopher Payne's Federal Court evidence was raised by Ms Young about the meeting/conversation he had with Fiona Brown on Tuesday the 26th, March 2019 which is highly significant. But not one of you bothered to cover that evidence! And you wouldn't know it from the media coverage, but Brittany's legal team have been successfully arguing her defence so far. Furthermore, a lot of what Martin Bennett (Linda Reynolds lawyer) has been arguing has been rejected by Justice Paul Tottle. So, what is it with the Australia media's obsession with reporting EVERY single claim against Brittany, whilst skipping over the untrue statements of Linda Reynolds and Fiona Brown?  The one sided and selective reporting is very frustrating, and is making an already traumatised rape victim, even more traumatised. The research I have conducted over the past year, linked to below, essentially proves that both Linda Reynolds and Fiona have been untruthful for 5 years about when they first learnt that the March 23, 2019, Parliament House incident was a possible sexual assault.   This was achieved by forensically researching all the available evidence from the ACT criminal trial, the ACT Inquiry, and the Lehrmann defamation trial. Linda Reynolds even recanted her ACT Criminal Trial evidence after my first Twitter thread was posted on the 15th, August 2023. Aug 16, 2024 xitter.cf/hardenuppete/status/18… Aug 26, 2024 xitter.cf/hardenuppete/status/18… Aug 15, 2023 xitter.cf/hardenuppete/status/16… Yet not a single Australian media outlet has reported on any of this. Why is it up to someone like me, who works full time, in a non-media role to spend hundreds of hours labouring over transcripts, media articles and evidence to investigate this matter properly? Isn’t that your job? The question to all of you is why not?? Were you censored, and ordered by your editors not to write about these issues? Legal threats? Please enlighten me. And apart from not investigating this matter properly, why are so many of you complicit with publishing a narrative that attacks and hurts a rape victim? I would encourage all journalists in this country who have reported on this case to ask yourself what role you have played in continuing to traumatise Brittany Higgins? PS: I wonder if any of you will have the courage and integrity to investigate and report on this breaking story? xitter.cf/serkanthewriter/status…

Extremely important to have this point made explicitly by Justice Lee : "The notion a woman is expected to either fight or flight to be accepted as having been a victim of sexual assault is not only not reasonably open but wrongheaded.” #Lehrmann

Cheers, Ray! Relationship as shocking, as it was inappropriate. Perhaps we will find out what the hell impaired his judgment so awfully! King’s Counsel, no less. #MurdochSewerageCo.stains EVERYTHING it touches. Their reach into the administration of justice, last straw! #auspol

I've been pondering why its taken so long for Australia to notice that women's sport is interesting but then I remembered that 11 years ago a major newspaper awarded "sportswoman of the year" to a horse.

Some are saying Labor are the same as the Liberals I'll remind those of their first budget after being elected in 2014: JobSeeker not available to under 25s. Under 30s would not qualify for 6 months, after which the Work for the Dole program would be required, and repeat.

So how bad is our political journalism? Let me put it this way. Kerry O'Brien has been replaced by Leigh Sales, Laurie Oaks has been replaced by Chris Uhlmann, Hugh Rimmington has been replaced by PVO and Barrie Cassidy and been replaced by David Speers. So yes, it's bad. #auspol
