Stop distracting the public from Andrew facing accountability. There never been more bullshit in the media since a potential royal facing devious criminal allegations. Focus on the truth and expose what’s important.

Take note; rape not just in church institutions and being hushed up!

Where there’s a will - there’s a relative.

Did his name start with Bill

The timeline doesn’t add up, bare in mind she was a heavy heroin addict during this period - I cannot imagine she was in the right frame of mind. Meticulous timing that the countries on fire and the right wing mags are trying to besmirch a dead one! sick

wow!! you are revealing it now?

Always comes out after they’re dead.

Omg disgusting if true

C’mon Lefties defend this, it was common knowledge in the family when this happened at the time. It’s all going to come out and Bob will be known as the dirty old man he was & Labor will be forced to remove his name on all his achievements and be disowned 🤣

She had a very bad drug habit when she was young, the news reported if she didn't stop she would die (remember Bob crying and people wondered why, Hazel clarified the situation). I can't image Bob doing this, we would have had a few wharfies 'tickling' anyone who did this to her.

And Labor still hasn't cleaned up their Corruption/Sex Scandals/ClimateHOAX/Union/Campaign Fraud Acts?🤔

Just a druggie looking for some easy money to buy drugs.

Let the man rest in peace you pack of vultures.

Labor like keep crimes hush, just ask the woman who assaulted me while pregnant.

Now we know why Bob cried and the guilt he must have carried when his daughter took heroine to cope with life. I believe Rosslyn 100%.

Very convenient of her to come forward with this, now all those who would know the truth, have passed!

Omg here we go!!!!!

Name and shame!! No sense in talking about if you’re not going to lay charges. All this does is once again, puts the heat on Men as Sexual Predators.

Bob 'Hillary' Hawke

Merri Creek Trail to get major safety audit after shocking alleged rapeMoreland City Council will undertake a major safety audit of the Merri Creek Trail following the brutal alleged rape of a female jogger. The move comes as a local MP reveals he recently received many emails from women fearing for their safety in the area. The article is excellent in that it includes comments warning against relying on rushes technological solutions that are often not effective in preventing violent crimes and are not what the majority of women want to help them feel and be safe. I feel deeply for the woman involved, but there's no point blaming the Merri Creek trail, or the governments that built it. Honestly, governments can't guarantee our safety, anywhere we go, 24/7. There are creeps out there who are threats to both men and women. Looks very secluded. 7NewsAustralia
