marxdeane Morrison’s boss shows shit flows from the top?

The women who are politicking their abuse against the government who has NOTHING to do with their sexual abuse. YES WE HEAR Yah but DO NOT AGREE with your 😡 faces and spreading that HATE and BLAME to someone who was not responsible to your abuse.

And all have a chip on their shoulder…🤔

I think if you are a single male you take a friend out with you as a witness ,male or female just in case something goes weird that you were not aware of . You have a witness in the other bed next to you with the light on watching Netflix at the hotel ,always at a hotel .

And they need to be respectful and not shrill and anti men.

Happy international women's day

Women, I can hardly explain.

Do they all get a $19,000 Rolex watch from Christine for participating ?

You seem to ignore this horrific story of bullying by a Labor pm as well. You call yourself journalists what a joke.

I think these people need real jobs and responsibilities. Far too much time on their hands

Terrific. Time to educate those men who don't know they're being inappropriate, and educate the boys of today who are yet to become men

WHO WILL STAND NEXT TO ME AND FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY IN WORLD WW3 ?

Any here thinking about going to help fight in Ukraine, Asking for a friend

Disgruntled former employees, professional victims, alleged assaults, sour grapes, love gone wrong and political revenge, they’re all here to stay, at least until after the election. auspol

Some of the issues these women want addressed do not only affect females. Most of them affect all genders. Child molesters, do not only molest females, domestic violence is not only committed by men, work places can be unsafe for anyone.males are often zero.

What a truck load of BS........

50 years of women choosing their path freely under feminism isn't going away unde4 victimhood claims; men have stepped aside at significant cost. Emancipation has long since been an option, broadly rejected by women, men see that women won't evolve. FeminismFail

Julia Banks who once asserted in parliament that she could live comfortably on welfare. How come she’s been sanctified?

As for Christine Holgate she was the CEO undertaking restructures that bullied others out. It's a bit much. Couldn't handle it when her own behaviour was turned on her

Why is Lucy Turnbull in that photo? Being married to the ghost can't that bad...

One in there whos case hasnt and even gone to trial yet her word againgst his. Disgusting that this case gets coverage common law in Australia is persumption of innocence until proveng guilty by our justice system

CourtRum 😂

Scomo alone in a room with these women would be fun to watch.

Sorry why does Lucy Turnbull have to be there? What makes her deserving?

So happy to see these wonderful women standing up for so many that don’t have a voice.

I’m pulling a face right now !!!

Oh no. disgruntled white women... is it budget or election time ... yawn

Worst cricket team ever fielded.

Grace Tame didn't know that she had done something wrong until someone told her that it was wrong. One of the others drank too much and the rest I don't know.

The eternal whinge continues.

There's been a whole conversation going on today about the lack of diversity in that photo (cultural, socio economic, geographic, etc). Might want to check it out and catch up.

Bunch of whingers. Not going anywhere in life.

...they have a lot of ‘free time’? Most working women and men I know are racing the clock 6am to bedtime.

GOOOOOO LADIES!!👍🇦🇺💛😀

When is international men's day again pls I am a bit forgetful these days after banging my head into a wall my whole life

Graces horror stories…her smoking bongs for a living and trying to change the world, yep no worries, go smoke a few more cones

So the propaganda begins.

If they help women in communists countries agree but .. I’d wish to hear that is No about women or men or LGTB, black or white, rich or poor.. when someone needs assistance , or when someone breach the law has to be persecuted no matter their gender, race or financial situation.

Wtf? Holgate did giveaway $20k watches courtesy of taxpayers. After a year Higgins still hasn’t proven her claim. Banks cldnt handle politics & imploded. Tame’s victim status is tainted as a willing participant who pursued an older man. Turnbull married a millionaire. Seriously!

Largely all white, all wealthy. Classic ABC.

Not sure why Lucy Turnbull's in there?

One court case for one of these women due about July 2022.

If LiberalAus & ScottMorrisonMP were serious, they would implement ALL of these policies B4 the election as no one believes empty words from Morrison. Im sure AustralianLabor & AlboMP will fix these issues when he takes the election. Id believe Albo over Morrison any day.

And all against one side of politics. What shameful opportunists they are. Imagine hijacking a cause like this

never deal

2021 Former Labor MP: Women are “treated with disdain” in a Labor “boys club culture WB Q 4 Albo: R the Boys still in the Labor party 2022?

Trump 2024! RealdnJTrump

One had sex with her teacher 25-30 times, the other got pissed in a government office, and some guy came onto her. Both think it's Morrison's fault. 🤡🇷🇺
