do you understand why so many women have enormous difficulty making a complain to police?
the system of investigation and trial is extremely traumatic.
there is no protection for women victims as there are for perpetrators (regardless of gender).
I don't know the full story with Higgins. what has been shown seems dubious with many questions, including the conduct of the security officers.
She raised her complaint thanks to the stand taken by Tame, and eventually did file a charge with police. This is soon to be brought to trial. it''l be an interesting case to follow and the Court will know that the much of Australia will be watching.
I hope they opt for a judge-only trial so as to avoid the slurs against jury members.
No Billy, Higgins was only wanting a fair investigation but couldn't feel confident, according to her, until inspired by Tame.
Morrison's part was to not provide assurance that the matter of sexual impropriety at the least and inappropriate conduct including rape is properly addressed as it is in most businesses in accordance with federal workplace laws.
Morrison made it political by not providing Higgins with that assurance and the media took it from there.
