Data from the ABC's Australia Talks National Survey shows most Australians are now inclined to believe allegations of sexual assault are almost always true. Grace Tame says it's a powerful symbol of progress, but there's still work to be done.

Criminologist Bianca Fileborn, who specialises in researching sexual violence and harassment, said it was this sustained conversation that has contributed to changing attitudes picked up in the Australia Talks survey, which was fielded in March, just before the March4Justice protests.

"It feeds into this idea that there are these two equal characters. It's really not like that," she said. "There's also a lack of understanding about how much coercion is involved in taking advantage of someone and that imbalance of power." "Because unless you've got a solid concept of something, how can you properly educate around it and understand it?"

"There's all these grey areas that perpetrators of crimes are often aware of and will use, they'll capitalise on any ambiguity to perpetuate unhelpful victim-blaming stereotypes."The Australia Talks data showed a considerable divide in how women and men perceived allegations of assault. "Research has very consistently shown gendered differences in terms of the extent to which people blame survivors for their own experiences or minimise the attitudes of perpetrators."

Don't care

Do you seriously think political leaders ( eg scotty, Dutton, McCormick) have changed their view that a woman's place is at home? Boll0x

elliemail Still a LONG way to travel...

Peter_Fox59 No change in our parliament yet though, the place that it really matters. No accountability. ScottMorrisonMP is weak on rape. Weak on sexual assault. Weak on sexual harassment.

You mean ‘towards female sexual assault survivors’. What hasn’t changed is ‘proof’ being generated by feminist-saturated depts & NGO’s to satisfy predetermined pro-feminist conclusions More GenderEqualityWhenItSuits

Its too hard, to fake convincing, genuine complaints. Victim psychology, when confronting oppressive sceptism,often intentional denial to further diminish, complainants credibility. Empiric global domination, characteristics. Hatred with intolerance, doesn't listen BrittHiggins_

Where is the counter here? This narrative is getting tired

steph_dalzell Yes and no? All the enablers are still at the helm!

I can't wait until this trumped up narcissistic perpetual victim fades into oblivion. The court of public opinion doesn't over rule law. Stop trying to make it happen simply because you hate men.

Belief and action are rarely the same thing. We'll see in a few years if there's been any real change.

'Almost always true' - wtf. More allegations doesn't make it better.

Who? Is she from the ethnic Anglo or Irish or Caucasian or Slav community?

It's hard knowing we don't have family around, it's hard knowing that we haven't had proper social or mental well-being checks on us - more for her sake; of course, for me as well - it's a shambles,' he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nMr Haidar also said the government getting extraordinary exemptions from restrictions while situations such as the one he and his wife are in do not, were examples of the government's 'double standards'.\n\n'There are so many double standards out there, so many examples of double standards where people in the government get one set of rules and us people at the bottom get another set of rules, it's disgusting.'\n Vaccine federal responsibility

Australia's average salary revealed: How much the 'ordinary' Aussie earnsThe average salary in Australia is now just over $60,000, new data from the Australian Tax Office has revealed. How dumb is this. Only reason women get paid less in a year is because on average they do less hours. Nine wants you to believe it's because man get paid more. It is pathetic to expect $40,000 as a norm. Your govt has created a sub-servent class, the precariate. Living week to week fearing of becoming sick, redundant, or fridge malfunction. Can they show what business pays men more than women for the exact same role and exact same hours? I wonder if tax returns include sex workers and social influencers that are dominated by women who make large sums of money

UK variant data promising, widespread vaccination still the key to reopeningMedical experts say with the world starting from a base of zero immunity to COVID-19, Australia’s tough restrictions must remain in place until most of the population has been vaccinated. covid19 vaccines Deltavariant The borders are the only place the virus gets in.
