TRUE OPINION: #MeToo, Breaking a Few Eggs, and the Impossible Fight for Justice in Sexual Harassment Matters
With ever more women openly discussing their experiences of sexual harassment, assault and rape at the alleged hands of powerful men, should we devote much time for the small number of males who may have been potentially wrongly accused? Our new True Crime News Weekly columnist and lawyer, Miles Hunt, wonders what side of history we really want to be on.

Thank you for a well-written and timely article. It gets under my skin when I hear the mainstream media say that racist acts like killing Aboriginal people in custody or destruction of priceless rock art is upsetting for the First Nations people. I’m not Indigenous and it upsets me as well. It makes me sick, actually.
Morrison is so embarrassing. Saying there was no slavery in Australia and now trying to say no slavery in NSW. Does he know any Australian history at all? Does he know which country he is supposed to be leading? Has he got Australia mixed up with somewhere else? The ABC are reporting that a third of all ASIO investigations are into these right-wing knob-heads. Think of all the time and tax-payer’s money being spent on these hate-filled pus-buckets.
It’s questionable whether Morrison is as popular as the media and the anonymous pollsters claim he is. I’m waiting for someone to write a ‘dark money’ style book on who owns and controls the main polling companies. I bet they’re a big industry like anything else. They played the public for fools at the last election, effectively ensuring the LNP got home on a protest vote.
Funny isn’t it, I once read that ‘oi oi oi’ originated as a German beer drinking song. Seems every country wants to claim it as their own. In Australia I think ‘oink oink oink’ would be more appropriate but then that is unfair towards pigs who are actually friendly and intelligent creatures.
