its been referred to the police, you know people who investigate crimes as opposed to facebook and twitter who don't.

lol everyone already knew Porter was a c*nt though

-PB

well that's it then, it should be more than enough for any jury to convict him of rape.

So you require the opinions of others in order to formulate your own opinion as to the ethics of sexual assault ?  

No I require the facts of the case.  What do you require?

Won't be a jury as the victim is dead, will see what the Coroner says though.

Porter named online by that weird Kangaroo Court page. Some interesting stuff in there

Presser called for tomorrow, defamation lawyer booked.

Get the popcorn.

And Porter's the one, ofc he fucking is.

Wait..there was a 10 month Vic police investigation into allegations that Bill Shorten raped a 16 year old girl in 1986?

Why wasn't that widely reported by the media during those 10 months? 

The few newspaper reports on the matter were careful not to name the Opposition Leader, but in the corridors of Canberra it was known Shorten was the subject of the investigation.

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/bill-shorten-faces-up-to-rape-allegations-by-attempting-to-speak-out-first-20140821-106v0r.html

Why weren't the Greens calling for his sacking in thinly-veiled comments and independents calling for an "independent enquiry as they are now for Porter. Why didn't Albanese call for Shorten to "stand aside"?

This guy could have been the PM..Most voters are likely to have been unaware of the allegation, ...

Good on Porter for pointing out the hypocrisy, double standards and bias.  And at the same time making Shorten's past widely known now.

Both ought to be politically dead

And The Age is still trying to hide Shorten's past..their link to the allegations below 404's with a "We can't find the page you asked forEither the URL was mistyped or the page may no longer be available"

5.50 pm Rachel Dexter:

Early in his pre-prepared statement, Mr Porter drew comparisons between how he believed the media had treated allegations against him, and those that were levelled against former opposition leader Bill Shorten in 2013.

The Age is not even bothering to pretend...

Even the turncoat Turnbull...

On Friday, Liberal frontbencher Malcolm Turnbull supported Mr Shorten's decision to publicly front up to "very, very painful" rape allegations from almost 30 years ago.

Mr Turnbull said Mr Shorten did the right thing in raising the damaging allegations

"I think Bill Shorten made the right decision," the Communications Minister told the Nine Network on Friday.

"It would be very, very painful to feel you are the subject of an unjust accusation."

I'm not even sure what you're whinging about these days.  Leftist bias? Is that it?

The whole thing is idiotic anyway.  All of this happened when he was 17 and she was 16.

33 years ago!?  What the bloody hell?!




Saw this so won't claim credit. 

Christian Porter made it clear very clear in his presser it was 33yrs ago -and that they were 16, going on 17... Has totally ruined the Sound of Music for me!!

I'm not sure if you're fully across the story if you want to trivialise this with the length of time and the ages of the 2 people involved.

The liberal party are corrupt to the core. It's infuriating. 
How is nobody facing justice over the dodgy land deals? 

EAD Porter

Porter innocent until proven guilty now?....Robodebt...refugees he accused and got denied saying they were rapists when he had ZERO evidence.....

Big difference between being a c*nt and a rapist though. 

How any citizen can attempt to defend the liberals is mind blowing. These guys would not piss on someone unless it was to drown them and take their wallet.

Have we ever had a less accountable and more corrupt government? This is not left right, or centre - these guys are just totally lining theirs and their mate's pockets, on top of being complete and utter cliched private school pigs

It is what it is.

Labor Ministry of Propaganda goes into over drive:

Sadly for Porter, his vehement public denial cannot end the matter.....Contrary to what the Prime Minister said earlier this week, this is not solely a matter for the police. It is also a matter for the Prime Minister and his cabinet colleagues to respond by initiating a thorough, impartial and – importantly – confidential investigation.

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/in-fairness-to-christian-porter-his-denial-cannot-end-the-matter-20210302-p57767.html

But a women’s legal organisation and crossbench MPs say there are still questions for him to answer and there must be an independent investigation of the matter.

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/minister-s-denial-of-assault-doesn-t-stop-calls-for-investigation-20210303-p577jj.html

"There's nothing particularly unusual about such a process, to inquire into and make a determination on a serious allegation against a person in a position of responsibility," he told PM."That literally happens every day of the week."

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-03/lawyer-responds-christian-porter-allegation-minister/13212790

Where were the calls for an "independent" investigation into the allegations Bill Shorten raped a 16 year old?  Apparently its not unusual and "happens everyday".  But not when your are Bill Shorten, Labor Opposition Leader, in the months before an election.

Why didn't we even get the media reporting it at all, let alone to anything like this is being reported.

Why didn't The Age bring this victim out to tell her story when Shorten was being accused?

https://www.theage.com.au/national/there-is-nothing-historical-about-my-shattered-life-a-child-sex-abuse-survivor-tells-her-story-50-years-later-20210303-p577dn.html

How must Shorten's accuser be feeling right now...

This is a criminal matter.  Its a job for the police.  The police *are* independent.  They investigated. We don't need third party's running a parallel system of law on what is alleged to have occurred 33 ears ago between a 17 and 16 year old. Its done

And for all that, when Bill Shorten, Labor Opposition Leader at the time was accused of raping a 16 year old girl, both Liberal Leadership Turnbull and Abbot had the decency to publically make statements and not go after political points scoring and let the legal system take care of its self.  Shorten's accuser is still alive BTW..

I mean this without trying to be nasty, but have some self-respect. These guys would laugh in your face. 

Are you talking to me?

Who are "these guys"?

And what exactly is "bordering on child-like"? 

The liberal party who you appear to be a volunteer spokesperson for. 
Dismissing the must putrid behaviour from elites by pointing in the other direction and saying 'look at this guys'

Personally I vote for who is the best at the time or policies I agree with. I am not bound by any ideology only values that align with mine. The liberal party is worse than the construction unions at their darkest - and that's saying something.

jeeez, I think there is a % of pathetic dirty rotten dark scum in each party, past present future, thats the more logical saying something.

You've being lied to and you don't even know it.

Labor ARE the elites. Shorten, Plibersek, Bowen, Wong, wanted nothing to do with the great unwashed working class other than take their votes. Unlucky for Labor, this great unwashed are waking up: Labor had a massive swing against them last election in Melbourne's and Sydney's West.

Labor has gone from being the party of the Working Class to the party of the Woking Class.  Wokeness is defined by hypocrisy, double standards and bias. A good example of this is how the Shorten rape allegations of a 16 year old were (not) reported and (not) presented versus how the Porter rape allegations of a 16 year old girl are being reported and presented.

Neither you or I have an idea what happened  to judge either Shorten or Porter.  That's not the point. Its the hypocrisy, double standards and bias that grates.

It might shock you to know that I once vote Labor.  Eventually I learned, as bad as the Liberal Party is-and it is-an Australia under a Labor-Greens coalition would be a worse. Much worse.

When I have spoken in support of labor? 

LNP destroyed in WA.
