Interested to know why previous @thelawcouncil President Arthur Moses was interviewed by #FourCorners to give his view that there should be no #independentinquiry into allegations against Christian Porter #auspol #auslaw

smh.com.au/national/the-b… His view was also being pushed last week by @FinancialReview but others in the legal profession including the more recent president @pollypippin as well as @larissaandelman and @JaneNeedhamSC and @sharonacoutts present a different view @Milliganreports #auspol

Is @FinancialReview part of the #rapeculture problem? In this piece, the @FinancialReview supports the view of a former male @thelawcouncil president over the voices of 3 prominent female lawyers #auslaw #EnoughIsEnough #RuleOfLaw

afr.com/politics/feder… AFR view: “The Heydon case was one of inappropriate and unacceptable workplace behaviour. In the case of Mr Porter it is alleged criminality that is at stake. And for that there is only one place: the criminal justice system and the court of law.”

Thread: @PhillipCoorey is digging himself a hole by attacking women in an attempt to save Scott Morrison. #ChristianPorter #auspol #March4Justice #WomenForElection #GettingElected #IWD2021

afr.com/politics/feder… He says:

“Internal research showed that swing voters soon tired of the Higgins story....After a few days, it morphed into frustration that Higgins had yet to go to the police.”

There should be an #independentinquiry into rape allegations against Porter. It’s “about having confidence in him and the position he holds” ⁦@JaneNeedhamSC⁩ ⁦@larissaandelman⁩ ⁦@thelawcouncil⁩ #auslaw #RuleOfLaw afr.com/business/legal… #Accountability for conduct is not limited to the criminal jurisdiction “An inquiry may be able to interview other persons that were present. Mr Porter mentioned there were four of them [on the debating team] and that they may have gone out together that evening.”

#RuleOfLaw

This is really quite bizarre... Christian Porter says he was not given opportunity to respond to allegations before they were published (anonymously) by the ABC. But also he would not have read them anyway as it would have been “inappropriate”?? #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news… Christian Porter: “No journalist has put the detail of the allegations to me in a way that would allow seeking a response, not ever.” What does this statement even mean? It does not make sense. #auspol
