Last-minute bid to save women’s charity from eviction | Sky News Australia

An “eleventh-hour” bid has been launched to save a women’s charity, due to be evicted by Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore for promoting what she claims is discriminatory attitudes towards transgender people. As revealed by Sky News in June, the Feminist Legal Clinic had its lease prematurely terminated by the City of Sydney council, after failing to remove from its website what the council considered to be non-inclusive material about transgender issues. Now the radical feminists have found an unexpected supporter – the founder of conservative-leaning think tank, Women’s Forum Australia.While they may have opposing views, the charity and the think tank have put their differences aside to create a petition to prevent the charity from being evicted, with its aim to collect 5,000 signatures. If the petition is unsuccessful, the clinic will have to be out of the premises by Thursday, about a year before the lease was due to finish.

Porter defamation: Former A-G ‘classic example’ of litigant refusing to accept risks to reputation, media outlets argue  – Lawyers Weekly

Returning to the Federal Court for yet another application, lawyers for major media outlets have accused Christian Porter of pre-emptively seeking orders against them as a “classic example” of a party who proceeds with litigation in Australia’s “most open court” but refuses to accept that it comes with damages to their reputation.

Another point stressed by Ms Alick is that the South Australian Coroner and Coroner staff had received the unredacted defence for the purpose of their investigation into the death of the woman who accused Mr Porter of rape – he denies all allegations. Ms Alick said that under Mr Porter’s sought orders to prevent its use outside of court proceedings, it would mean that any use of the defence by the Coroner is prohibited.

The matter has been reserved and a written judgement will soon be available.

“Gender Identity,” the Techno Medical Complex and Twerking Men in Monkey Suits

Why are most adults unable to respond effectively to the overt exposure of our children to extreme sexual material and acts, and the brutalization of their sex organs, being framed as human rights? Children’s libraries have been infringed upon by grown men in women’s underwear and clown make up, twerking at them while singing about inclusivity and choosing to be male or female. What does this have to do with the rights of people who are same sex attracted?

Can grown men in rainbow monkey suits twerking at children in their libraries be an accident? Is it a phenomenon that just happened? Is Jazz Jennings’ castration promoted on television and celebrated in corporately controlled media that intersect with the techno-medical complex, just something that emerged? Thousands of young people on YouTube and TikTok talking about their dismemberment surgeries, alongside doctors selling dismemberment surgeries, cannot be just a fad.

The University of Essex abandons its faculty to ideologues – The Post

In the latest episode of this shameful debacle, last week the university informed Freedman and Phoenix that it plans to publish their personal data that had previously been redacted. The two academics told me that, according to the university, they made transgender and nonbinary staff and students feel physically unsafe. Why? For simply holding the views that sex is immutable and that spaces like prisons should remain segregated according to biological sex.

This is part of an ongoing pattern of behaviour from many universities across the UK and elsewhere. Feminist and human rights academic experts are routinely hounded, cancelled and even blacklisted. They deal with calls to have them fired from their jobs and face Kafkaesque trials based on pernicious and spurious complaints to their employers. They are told that they make students and staff terrified as a result of their mere presence on campus. And while the University of Essex appeared to be taking these issues seriously, what has happened to Freedman and Phoenix shows how much power the trans lobby has when it comes to academic institutions. The VC has done a U-turn and appears to have caved to pressure.

How Australia’s Family Courts Are Failing Children – The Diplomat

 

The study’s findings are consistent with global trends in custody proceedings where mothers — and children — are being punished for bringing child abuse to the court’s attention. This is driven by a considerable ideological shift in family courts over the past few decades that has made it far more difficult for mothers to protect children from abusive fathers.

Family courts have been overwhelmed by a “pro-contact” culture that leads them to believe that it is in the child’s best interests to maintain contact with a father even if he has been abusive toward that child, and even if he continues to pose a threat. Furthermore, the priority given to contact over safety means that courts are motivated to disbelieve allegations of abuse, and ignore or excuse them when the evidence is substantial.

This pro-contact culture has been advanced into family courts by “fathers’ rights” and other male supremacist groups as not only a way to avoid consequences for abusive behaviors, but in order to reassert male household dominance due to a belief that this is a natural order that is being undermined by social advancements in women’s rights and capabilities.

Through obsessive barking that family courts are riven with “false allegations,” and through the use of the nefarious counterclaim of “parental alienation,” these groups have constructed a narrative that women are driven by spite and are actively seeking to remove fathers from their children’s lives without merit. The goal has been to misdirect the sympathies of courts toward abusive men, and direct the suspicion of courts toward protective mothers.

Yet their assertions that false allegations are rife in family courts cannot be substantiated. A recent study from the United States concluded that women (and children) rarely fabricate stories. An extensive Canadian study found that alongside the rarity of these fabrications by women and children, it was men who were far more likely to make intentionally false reports in custody proceedings.
