This is Judge David Farrell, QC. In April of 2019, he handed Martyna Ogonowska a life sentence, with a minimum term of 17 years, for stabbing and killing a man who was sexually assaulting her.
In 2012, on the other hand, Judge Farrell handed down sentences of just 40 months to two men who raped an 11 year old schoolgirl because she was “willing,” and “looked fourteen.”
@farra521@maurel_olivia Commercial surrogacy is illegal in Qld, so while surrogacy has many issues, in this instance, the child was not "bought or sold".
@perhapsGodot We have an Australian version, but the default in Australia forever was/is the UK version. I had no idea it wasn’t a UK invention until about 2 years ago.
@ThatAussieWoman I ticked "prefer not to say" for both my husband and me (since "none" wasn't an option). My two primary aged kids didn't have that question thank goodness!
@Dovakeen74313@merccante Depends on where they were. If they were in Australia, 16 is the age of secual consent. He's Australian and they spent a lot of time there.
I met my husband when I was 22 he was turning 26. We got married the day after our 5th anniversary. Whenever anyone asked him about proposing before then, he always said "I'm not marrying until I'm 30 at least"
If I had asked ANY man 18-40 to marry me at 18-25 to marry me he would have absolutely choked on his drink and say “I think you’re a bit young for that”. This new fetish for “why didn’t you marry before 30” is crazy revisionism, even 5 years ago.
@iBringTeWubs@slooterman The problem is if they leave you alone, you whine and complain and scream that they are being bigoted and ableist and rude for not including you. Or post online that no one came to your kid's party. Yeah, coz he's a dick and they don't like him.
Every single therapist, every single surgeon, GP, and endocrinologist; every nurse practitioner, every gender clinic counselor, every school counselor and every teacher who encouraged this barbarism needs to pay. So do the lobbyists, the elected officials, and the activists.
Look at what they’ve done to our children, for god’s sake. Look at what they’re _still doing_.
@robbiebone@SerioJoshehe Maybe because gay men don't want an "extra, conveniently placed hole". They want a male, since they are same SEX attracted and not interested in sleeping with a female, no matter when she last shaved her chin.
@godsmessiestguy@DavidofEnglish@hanley_tj Because they then spent 40 years paying the loan back? You gave them nothing for free. Plus, in addition to Lend-Lease they bought and paid for lots. Your war industry got its start using their cash.
