“brutal places for women – whether their children have died, or they have been beaten, raped, duped or misrepresented. The questions that should be pursued are left hanging, while bit players cry foul and some journalists dig dirt like they are the only ones seeking the truth. Meanwhile the accused rapist gets a soft interview where he admits he lied, and all of his explanations are open to challenge. The DPP is hung out to dry, and the very woman whose appointed job is to support victims is attacked for doing her job. In all this the police are shown to be ignorant and cowardly non-upholders of the law. The substantive matter is sidelined, and the woman who spoke about the rape is neglected, and abandoned, her dignity and privacy shredded. She’s on trial by the media, and now the plaything of Peter Dutton and his colleagues”.
