Since we can now talk about the Bruce Lehrmann trial, can I just check if anyone in their entire lives have ever heard of someone having a big night out, and then pissed, deciding to go back to the office to do some work his boss said wasn’t needed? Impossible.

Also, if he was such a gentlemen offering Brittany to share an Uber home to make sure he got her home safely, why didn’t he do that? If he seriously wants us to believe he decided to go back to work, why did he take Brittany there and not drop her home first? Beggars belief.

Furthermore, if Bruce said he was taking Brittany home, why didn’t he do that? Why did he leave her at Parliament House and was seen on security cameras jogging from the scene? Why not go back and make sure she was ok, take her home safely? Doesn’t make sense.

Also, why did Bruce tell his boss he went back to the office to get some whisky, when he later claimed he was working? Surely his boss would be more impressed with the working excuse than the whisky one? What reason did he have to lie? Very suspicious.

How did Brittany get all bruised if she wasn’t violently raped? Why was she found by a security guard naked if Bruce had left her doing some work like he claimed? Why on earth would she, so drunk she couldn’t put shoes on, go and do work? And then strip off in minister’s office?

And here’s the big one. Why the heck would Brittany put herself through the hellish nightmare of the last few years if she wasn’t raped? Why would she make it up? She took photos of herself immediately after. There is no conceivable reason she has benefited from the allegations.

I’ve been waiting to ask these questions publicly but I didn’t do it because I know how social commentary can impact trial. Since the search for justice was ripped away from Brittany because of idiot juror doing their own research, and because it’s damaging her, I ask them now!

None of the misogynist creeps - men and women - who are abusing Brittany online can possibly answer any of these questions because there is no reasonable answer to them. They just say ‘Brittany lied’. Bruce wouldn’t even defend himself. And there’s other allegations against him.

Brittany has put herself through hell, so I hope it’s not in vain. I hope she gets the help and support she needs, including compensation from her employer who threw her under a bus. And I hope we can reform the justice system so the next Brittany has it easier. System is broken.

To those people who listen to a female victim make allegations and turn her into the villain, take a look at yourself. What have you done to make you automatically turn on a woman talking about their worst nightmare? What if Brittany was your wife, daughter, sister, friend?

What if you were alleging rape and were told you deserved it? What if you were abused and got abused for it, with mobs of trolls defending your abuser? How do you sleep at night with your cold, callous, vindictive heart? You embolden rapists, you protect them, you might be them.

I’m sending all care and love to Brittany, her family and loved ones. You are such a strong and brave woman. You will get through this. Thank you for taking them all on to seek justice. We believe you. I’m so sorry the system failed you #IStandWithBrittany #YouDidUsProudBrittany
