@MenendezRand@BanfieldonNN@lauraingle Thank you for sharing Rob. Quick Q, apologies if it’s been mentioned. Could the new DA retract the recommendation of 50-life between now and the hearing? And if so, would that void this potential pathway?
@MenendezRand Well.. I will hold of sending him my letter. Are we completely surprised by this decision? I know Anamaria was of the opinion he’d let the courts decide.
@MenendezRand It’s upsetting, it feels like the momentum and positivity around their potential release has changed since the new DAs comments, the Dateline segment and a few pro prosecution articles in the last several days. I felt so hopeful not even a week ago, now it feels political.
@sixxsbooth@FreeMenendez35 This is what I think too, the entire article is saying a lot without saying much at all. I am caustically optimistic but preparing for the worst.
It's 2022, and a privileged, wealthy, well-educated man used the platform of a national paper to tell a survivor of child sexual abuse to smile for a powerful man who has shown zero respect to women. Or stay at home.
PvO's attack on @TamePunk was obscene. #EnoughIsEnough#auspol

@abchobart This is contradictory.. If the govt are not enforcing compliance ( as one of the only jurisdictions in aus not doing so..) but police can “spot” check.. no wonder there are people refusing to be vaccinated. There isn’t a clear reason why they should bother. As a Tasmanian 1/2
How in the ever-loving fuck do we live in a country where @ScottMorrisonMP has refused to act on an alleged rape for months because of a police investigation but now another MP has admitted to an offence carrying a 3 year jail term & there’s no immediate police investigation?
This is worth repeating:
If we want to end violence against women, it’s not women who need to change their behaviour. Men do.
We need to end the culture of victim-blaming and start focusing on those who are responsible for these crimes.
Watching Scott Morrison, Anne Ruston and Michaela Cash. What a trio of tossers. It’s a social contract apparently. I despair of this country.
