After repeated accusations by Liberal Senators of collusion with #BrittanyHiggins, Katy Gallagher reminds them of the “message that this chamber is sending out to every other woman who might want to stand up”
Falls on deaf ears as Liberals get way out of control. #Senate
They are lining up one after the other accusing & interrogating Gallagher, just like yesterday. Marise was a real Payne in the ass again.
Sarah Henderson asks if Gallagher had a “friendship” with David Shiraz.
Gallagher says it was a “professional relationship” & it would have been the case with a number of Senators.
Henderson asking if Gallagher was invited to Shiraz’ weddings, or ever invited him to any events
They are also hounding Penny Wong on the issue. It’s the only thing Liberals are asking about this week.
Nothing else matters to them other than weaponising the alleged rape which they continue to cover up.
Simon Birmingham, a real coward, standing up accusing Gallagher of lying & again asking if she’s misled parliament.
Q was to Penny Wong, who care barely respond with the Opposition yelling at her across the chamber.
It’s not just questions on Wong, Gallagher,
Liberals are also using their 5 min allocated (or however long it is) slot to give an additional speech to slander Gallagher & keep weaponising the alleged rape.
Matt O’Sullivan was the last but all Libs, men & women, taking turns.

Lidia Thorpe has told the #Senate after making a complaint in 2021 she was assured by the LNP
“that the PM was informed at the time” & she thought
“that they understood the seriousness”
They took it SO seriously that Morrison now says he can’t recall a damn thing about it🙄
Lidia Thorpe quote after Hanson said something to her in the Senate which was inaudible
“Fuck off, Pauline!”
Just prior to this, Pauline was seen saying “Oh rubbish!” as Lidia was speaking.
Reported by Paul Karp/The Guardian.
Thorpe had also said shes “disappointed” that
“Instead of stepping up, taking accountability for the fact that he made me feel unsafe, he denied it.
“He asked his lawyers to send a letter, the same lawyers who represented Christian Porter”
Don’t forget Commissioner Catherine Holmes praising the Twitter community at the #RobodebtRC for doing the media’s work.
Whilst it’s left to us again, this time to repel the bias & support women, let’s not assume we are completely irrelevant. Holmes proved it. We proved it.
I’ll try bring you the latest from the Senate in particular with Thorpe, & any other updates today. But note I’m in low-reception areas so unlikely of any videos till late.
Let’s try have a fun day but we’ll see how we go. Don’t forget these debates can be impacting for many❤️
David Van has taken to 2GB Radio to defend himself, saying how shattered he is.
He says he is “absolutely not” a perpetrator, and has never harassed or touched Lidia other than if he may have shaken her hand.
Also Labor’s Don Farrell says the govt is providing support to Lidia
Senator Lidia Thorpe accuses Liberal Senator David Van of having been “harassed & sexually assaulted” by him & that the “PM had to remove him from his office” after Van was speaking on “Safe & Respectful Workplaces” in defence of Linda Reynolds. #Senate
If I heard right, the alleged incident is reported to be from 2021, so under Morrison.
I don’t know anything about this. I think it’s taken most, or everyone by surprise.
I don’t always agree with Lidia, but by golly do #IStandWithLidia here 😔🩷
Senator Anne Urquhart blasts Liberals for their repeated harassment of Katy Gallagher in the #Senate & for the “impact” it’s having on women who need to “speak out”
Urquhart: “What you’re doing is continually putting a lid on them & telling them to shut up!”
Hard not to be brilliant when you have a golden heart like Anne’s. Inspirational, powerful, courageous. ❤️
Michaelia Cash has been blown away by Brittany Higgins who has shared transcripts of conversations with Cash’s former Chief of Staff Daniel Try. Shows discussion of the alleged rape & that they knew for some time. Cash has previously denied this. She has questions to answer.💥💥
It’s disturbing however, that the alleged rape victim, had to come out and put herself in this position. She’s so brave, & Liberals should be careful if they want to keep this jig up. More here. #IStandWithBrittany
Sally McManus sets the Business Lobby straight for suggesting Same Job Same Pay laws will “somehow force companies in Australia not to pay people more” & stuns Liberal Keith Wolahan for trying to play the same tune. 💥🔥#QandA
Wolahan no match. He must be dreading McManus being on the show today.
And it’s over, I missed most of it getting this video up but I’ll catch up later.
Next week will have Bill Shorten & Dr Monique Ryan ✅
