January 6 was a day that should live in infamy. I at least will never forget or forgive it.

Imagine if Russell Brand were Muslim. Everyone on here would be calling him a "Muslim rapist."
So why is no one calling him a "Christian rapist?"

Reminder that Dave Hughes runs a personal opinion commentary account. Dave’s political conclusion is commentary, not a FACTUAL claim.

Speaking as a lawyer, a rape conviction is the hardest to get in criminal law. 90% of rapes never reported due to vile attitudes like yours that don’t believe women. Conviction rates 10% as system is stacked against women not men. Just 1/100 rapists held accountable. Shame on u.
All it takes is a woman saying that a man raped her 20 years ago. No evidence. Just her word and the vibes. And just like that, prison. Meanwhile his word? Zero weight. Only what she says matters.
Those cheering Russell Brand’s conviction should understand what’s at stake. The judicial system is a cornerstone of Western civilisation. And now we know with 100 percent certainty that it’s completely corrupt.
Justice was not served, this is the opposite of that.

REMINDER: Hughesy adopts a fake "ordinary Aussie Battler" persona but he is a multi-millionaire with many investment properties. Hughesy whines about potholes, but whinges about paying taxes (which provides funding for road maintenance works like fixing potholes).

Don’t think she answered any questions at all.
I remember a Premier standing up for hours until every question was answered.
She only knows how to parrot answer questions.

Let me be absolutely clear. I blocked you because of your reply to my post about Helen Haines. Your reply is in the attached image, and the relevant post is below.
What you suggested was factually wrong, entirely without foundation, and grossly unfair.
Your own words are the reason I have no respect for you, no interest in your opinions, and absolutely no desire to see any more of your replies.
I don’t know Helen Haines personally, although I’ve had the chance to meet her briefly.
What has always struck me is the extraordinary warmth with which people who do know her speak about her. How deeply respected she is, how hard she works, her integrity, and, above all, how much of herself she gives to others and to her community.
My own tiny glimpse of that was watching Helen notice someone was cold and insist they take her coat. It was such a small thing, but perhaps that’s why it stayed with me.
There is something particularly heartbreaking about seeing something so awful happen to someone who has spent so much of her life giving to others and devoted to public service.
Which makes it deeply disappointing to see some trying to turn what has happened to Helen into ammunition for whatever political argument they wanted to make anyway.
Surely this is a moment for something better than that.
I can’t pretend to know what Helen would want from us right now. But everything I have seen and heard about her suggests kindness, generosity and compassion would be a pretty good place to start.
This should be a moment that brings out the very best in all of us.

If she reports immediately, she's accused of trying to ruin a famous man's career.
If she waits, she's accused of inventing it years later.
If she tells nobody, she's accused of having no corroboration.
If she tells friends, she's accused of spreading rumours.
If she continues working in the same industry, she's accused of not being sufficiently traumatised.
If she leaves the industry, she's accused of being bitter about her failed career.
If she liked the man, she's accused of regretting consensual sex.
And if she disliked him, she's accused of having a grudge.
You CANNOT win.

So @netanyahu should expect at least one jail sentence to be a minimum of 2,000 years, yes? For the murder of the first 20,000 children in Gaza since October 2023. Sounds reasonable to me, @CIJ_ICJ.
