Christian Porter has identified himself as the Cabinet minister who is facing a historical rape allegation.Mr Porter, in an anonymous letter sent to the Prime Minister, had been accused of raping a woman in Sydney in 1988, long before he entered politics.The woman contacted police in 2019 but took her own life last year.
On Tuesday, New South Wales Police said there was "insufficient admissible evidence" to investigate, and that the case was now closed. "Prior to last Friday's story in the ABC, no-one in law enforcement or the law or politics or the media ever put any substance with any specific allegations to me at all," Mr Porter said.
Harvey Weinstein & Jeffrey Epstein , Prince Andrew .... also stated they denied the allegations. Those privileged .... seem above the law.
Christian Porter quotes 'I'm going to Smut my way through law school ' (4 corners Nov 2020) 'Mr Porter wrote of what he called the “chick teams”, that they were “about as gratuitous and off-putting displays of female sensuality”.' (Ibid)
What about this from November 2020
Playing the victim with his teary response and conveniently taking 'mental health' leave. As a nurse I've seen colleagues bullied and stressed and denied this kind of leave. It seems arbritary if you are a dirty politician.
This is Pell all over again. Trial by media.
Putting aside guilt, innocence and everything I’m between.. As a citizen of this democracy- I have no confidence in the Attorney General. Role incumbents are known as ‘The Honourable’ Attorney General.
ABCthedrum lol wtf , surprise he denied it frankly Id be surprised if he admitted guilt
Guilty
I’d love to see a professional psychological opinion on the likelihood that this woman would lie about being raped to MULTIPLE people, including the prime minister and other prominent government figures, and then commit suicide. Come on Attorney General.
Of course he does, we would have expected nothing but! How many other times has he in his life treated women with disrespect as human beings! You will never be PM & how disrespectful to the Australians you represent! Resign as AG at least!!
Bạn nữ hiền, dễ nhìn, tính tình hoà đồng,yêu
investigation on his behaviour toward female staffs in Canberra should be done too.
ChristianPorter said himself, he can’t disprove what happened in 1988. In this case, the alleged victim is already deceased and knowing the law, all he needs to say is that he didn’t do it. There is not enough evidence from police investigation. It doesn’t mean he didn’t do it!
Christian Porter = CP Child penetrator! White powerful men do what they want
😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
this basket-case govt shown up for what it is.
What is there to deny.
I believe him, and I believe in him.
Unlike some of the other accusations, Porter has form for *exactly* the kind of behavior and attitudes that people associate with a lack of respect for women. I'm also suspicious in the extreme it took 5 days to respond. I think he waited until he knew what was out there so ...
certoscio2 The difference between the way the media treat this case and the accusation against Shorten is truly remarkable. There appears to be only one voice, Mike Smith, prepared to speak up on Kathy Sherriff's right to a fair hearing.
What a fucking LIER!
I think he is not guilty only because there is not enough evidence and the poor lady has gone. Now he can say whatever he wants.
I felt it was so poorly acted. As a Crown Prosecutor he knows what to do to look innocent. Didnt he hit some of those key things directly. Even stuttered and listed the dot points of why he is a good man, tried to use emotive language referencing how he has protected children
So we leave a man who has the highest level in policing in the land in charge of making decisions on rape cases while having one hanging over his head,can no one in this country see how wrong that is, he needs to step down if not aside & to compare rape allegations is a cop out
I really feel for the girl, here family, friends and for Christian. I know what it is like to be accused of something you did not do. For me it went on for six months before I was able prove my innocents and it was a very stressful time. He will never be able to prove innocents.
Another cover up in our parliament mates sticking with mates again, the arrogance a of aman that hasn't got a clean record with the way he treats woman is being backed by the Christian hypocritical leader of the country
The justice system can not be based on hearsay accusations from third parties no matter how sincerely those views may be held. The is no evidence to support claims and no one to make an in person complaint or provide evidence. Justice can not operate as a pole on social media.
Your nose is growing Minister Porter!!!!
Meanwhile a Chinese 'diplomat' talking to business people called Australians 'scumbags', but the ABC did not report it.....
Pulled the old sick leave card
Leftist gutter press smear campaign 😡
Of course, he does, so for the record, let's have an independent inquiry, so we can put his poor soul to rest and begin restoring our faith in the Australian Parliament. auspol LNPRapist MSM
I can strenuously deny Scott Morrison is PM, but it doesn't mean it isn't true.
Christian porter denied refugees medevac because of unsupported rumours they were rapists. So how can he keep his job
I'll leave it to legal experts to point out anomalies in CP's speech that make him so hard to believe & trust our media to report them honestly & for Australians to care. B/c a young girl's diary should be full of pop stars & school & love, not allegations of anal rape. auspol
Can one deny an allegation one hasn’t read? Shouldn’t the response be: “I can’t answer that because I haven’t read the allegation?” Perplexing and bizarre‼️
Porter overseas a raft of unlawful conduct by Govt entities in efforts 2save money to allow the tax cuts 2the wealthy. He’s an extreme rwfw with little concern 4anything but power+greed.A pig of a human being. Stating the victim may have intended blackmail clearly untenable.
Did you seriously expect him to say anything otherwise The fact this was not thoroughly independently investigated doesn’t mean he is not guilty. It means any investigation govt could interfere with makes innocence questionable, conveniently so now the victim cannot speak.
ABCthedrum An independent inquiry is the only way out for Christian Porter. He has a reputation and needs to defend it. The claimant who has suffered for years needs to have her allegations reviewed and critic’d.
Nothings happened ? The woman waited for 33 years to go police and wrote a detailed report and committed suicide ... just to shame you ? Why ? Come on Christian !!!
Guilty !!!!!
Cunt
This man is the epitome of male toxicity.
Guilty as sin in my opinion
.... believe the woman...
But also won't allow an investigation.
Of course Christian Porter didn’t do it. Neither did Prince Andrew. How silly to think otherwise.
He can deny till cows stand on 2 legs he’ll still be guilty !!
I have little sympathy for this man. His dodgy past is catching up with him. An Attorney General should be beyond reproach. He isn't.
Get rid of him.
I'm sorry for him. From this females grave she has destroyed a man's reputation. I tend to believe him, not from a dead woman who had mental problems
A man that lies regularly to the media and the public he is supposed to represent and serve, expects everyone to believe him now. No.
I believe survivors, I believe women. Our society will be sick until we can jail men based on victims truth rather than allow the victims truth to be torn apart in court
Surely the only body qualified to conduct an enquiry into a potential crime is the police. Who else are people suggesting do this?
Guilty before proven innocent
You need to sack this guy, ScoMo. He has a history of misogyny, sexism and, apparently, sexual assault. He's a large part of the problem your party has with women. Cut him loose.
LIAR
Call it what it is. It's a rape allegation. The 'historical' part is irrelevant unless you are trying to minimise the impact of the RAPE part of the heading. Are you trying to do that? WordsMatter LNPRapist JusticeForKate
What if it was a herstorical rape allegation ?
Doesn't matter. Already tried and found guilty by social media court
ihearaustraliangrace this woman inspires me beyond words. GraceTame
I can only imagine what Christian Porter would have looked like as a 17 year old. He is not a big man and as a boy of 17 of advanced academic standing was probably a very scrawny virgin. Their is serious malice in this tragedy that warrants criminal investigation into the letter
Strenuously object
Why is no one referring to “inside the Canberra bubble” 4 corners expose on Christian Porter’s reputation and abuse from his university days?
Lies
What a waste of suspiciously lizard-like skin this man is.
I can't help but think about the content of the Four Corners investigation last year 🤔
Who'd know? Just hope the police do a proper job investigating and finish doing the same with shorten while they're about it.. Its not the person that's criminals, its their actions regardless who they are!
Guilty cos your male... oh sorry we are now a genderless society so does it matter...?
Of course he denies it because the victim is dead and can no longer speak her truth. And nswpolice dragged their arses and didn't get a statement even though the victim was ready.
SWEAR ON THE BIBLE , A MAN IN HIS PORTFOLIO .
AG ha ha , breaking the laws, should call him a rapist now
ABCthedrum I believe her
They all say they didn’t do it
Poor Porter!
One less god bothering Christian in government would be a start
His refusal to stand aside ironically locks the matter around his neck forever. Unless the LNP acts decisively, this liability will ensure the defeat of the Govt. His performance today was just embarrassing. Politically, Porter is a dead man walking.
ABCthedrum And so that if a victim comes forward they must be believed, that’s what Scott Morrison said 2019. He now takes the word of the Federal Attorney General, without a second thought about an independent investigation.
New Zealand news not afraid to front page it.
She say He say We the people Say he took his eyes out by him self
Is it even possible that he would admit?
MattDoran91 Christian Porters response was weak. Deflecting to other instances within politics and trying to avoid the issue was concerning. You can’t compare different situations and you didn’t bother to even read the document. It’s a shame clarity will never be achieved. theprojecttv
Strenuous denials are for when a regular every-day denial is insufficient.
Jails are full of people who claimed they didn't do it. The facts and a jury said otherwise. Porter knows he won't have to face either. Doesn't make him any less of a grub.
The irony being two Christians, in as many weeks, will bring down the Hillsong PM.
Of course it's porter.
He’s saying that it didn’t happen not that he didn’t do it
Don’t all rapists deny it?
Go away ABC it’s time you lot were closed down you are a disgrace u disgust me go away u heathens
He could star in the next re-make of Gaslight.
'No journalist has ever put the detail of the allegations to me in a way that would allow seeking a response. Not ever.' - Christian Porter (3 Mar 2021) ... Really? 👇 ChristianPorter ChristianPorterMustResign Kangaroo_Court
Morrison said Porter strongly denied the allegations that Porter also says no one has ever put the those very allegations to him?
So sorry for this guy - it was an unwarranted attack.
Deny away...
Crocodile tears.
I lost my virginity through RAPE
Porter also stated that no 'Journo' had put the allegations to him ... I call BULLSH*T 👇
Ibelieveher
Psycho f*****
Still waiting to find out what he has done and same with Brittany, any one got links?
The party of FAMILY VALUES. A true Christian is Porter, liar, deceitful, sinner. Remember him banging on about gay marriage? The louder they scream about THE GAYS you can be sure that they have been up to devient behavior. The LNP rapist, how will ScoMo spin this one?
Is he squeaky clean
So? Doesn't mean he is innocent! InvestigateChristianPorter
This man is not the victim.
Well I believe him, he's a cyborg...
Yeah well, he would wouldn't he? 😒
I never had sexual relations with that women......now where have we heard that before........ justiceforkate JusticeForKatharineThornton
nobody has a right to judge this man, or the right to demand criminal punishment. these loud-mouthed howlers are the true monsters here.
He can only remember a bowl of prawns
Its not a question of belief.
A rapists voice should not be the last voice heard in relation to this woman.
I don’t believe Porter He has form as an abuser and misogynist lBelieveHer ScottyTheRapistProtector CabinetRapist
Was anyone actually expecting a rapist with an excellent chance of escaping his punishment to own up to what he did?
MattDoran91 Most men get through life without ever being accused of rape..... How unlucky is the attorney general to have this accusation lodged at him - or is he lucky? While this case will never be investigated and the truth determine - we have to accept innocent until proven guilty.
We support Mr Porter. An unfounded accusation should not destroy his career. It’s interesting how everyone on the left is happy to make judgement & call him guilty without 1 piece of proof. I thought in AUS you are innocent until proven guilty? Us on the right side support him
Look into the history behind Christian Porter and his attitude towards women.
Where was the high flying, heavy hitting Minter Ellison defamation lawyer guy❓🤑
ABCthedrum Piece of lying 🤥 💩
It always becomes a case of he said she said. With the victim deceased and no witnesses Porter knows there's no chance of the case moving forward? Do you believe him ⚖
Since the victim is dead, it's his word and his word alone. Can a mature man be held accountable for misbehaviour and crimes he did as a teenager / school kid / before he came of age . I think so . A good reason for you young guys to behave ....
What a shocking surprise. Rapist denies rape
Didnt believe a word of it
The ABC should lose their licence. How can they get away with this. I always thought that people are innocent until proven guilty. Obviously not in Australia. The fact that Albanese is asking for an inquiry disgusts me. This is trial by media at its best.
Has there ever been a rapist who didn't initially deny the allegation? His denial neither proves nor disproves the allegation as the guilty and innocent alike will deny it. What makes a difference is that the victim chose to end her life when she saw no path to Justice.
Then let me ask you this question, why would a dying woman lie?
I knew it! How many women have publicly complained about him? If he isn't put in jail, the system is broken.
Its getting a bit tiresome when politicians are asked questions as to their behaviour even with days notice that the floodgates open and the blubbing starts. Waiting to hear who it was that edited and sanitised social media accounts as to his activities in 1988.
So Christian Porter is as guilty or not guilty as Bill Shorten, just depends on weather you're left or right.
It can’t be proven. He may be guilty, he may be falsely accused. No one but him knows the truth. You can ruin someone’s life with an accusation, you can’t bring someone back to life with a fruitless investigation.
He's so brave to come out bc the woman is dead and no one can contest him. He's crying bc his career is over. He has a history of dishonesty.
Maybe the same generosity of presumption ofinnocence should have been bestowed on the Australian SAS by this very government..... hypocrisy at its best.
Until people treat all media with the disdain they deserve then ‘anyone’ is going to get dragged, shit thrown at them, tragedy will occur, victims heard, used and dumped. Next time it could be ‘you’ & you’ll be pissing in the wind.
Stranger than fiction?
Not sure the Minister sounded strenuous. He sounded strained and jittery. Would not be easy but if honestly untrue he could have been insistent. Needs 2 months off, not 2 weeks.
Don’t you just want to punch him in the face.
Of course he denies it. Lying is always the best first line of defence.
Not sure about the tears. Who was he crying for? Not the alleged victim perhaps? What are the odds on him returning to AG role/parliament?
Who else would have been other than Attorney General? He denied all those women in Four corners. His wife and children left him for what he is. Now again he is denying. Why no one accused Malcolm T for example ? Why everyone is accusing him? Because he is what he is.
Even TurnbullMalcolm knew it was him, we all know it was him. How ludicrous that we have a system where a predator, cporterwa walks away free. There may not be admissible evidence for this one, but all the abuse you have before you will surface.
ABCthedrum Notice the distancing language he uses. Just like Bill Clinton...
Why would this woman identify him over so many years to such an depth level with such constanality to so many, especially having gone through counselling & support? His answer make no sense.
Never going away. The Q hasn’t been asked or answered! The NSW police investigation pathetic, ending before the victim interview with COVID as the excuse! Most organisations used technology like Zoom! NSWPolice fail again.
I don't believe a word this sociopath claims.
Asking for a friend: can you still refer to someone as an accused rapist if the victim has died and unable to proceed with charges?
'Honest Gov, I never done it! It wasn't me!'
I think he did .He knows he did it . Scott knows he did it . Lock him up .
IBelieveHer
Seriously? Again? Can your male political journalists please learn to put resources for sexual assault and any mental health in relevant articles? 😡
Guilty, guilty, guilty
Of course he would deny it.
ABCthedrum He may deny it but usually where there is smoke there is fire and this man’s reputation around women is well known. auspol
Probyns disgraceful analysis following Porters news conference was one of the most obsequious things I have ever seen!
Can you hold yourself back from crocodile tears for a full minute and also be strenuous?
Hard Rock Cafe in Sydney opened in 1989, so claiming rape was after that cannot be true in 1988. Case closed. It’s fiction
Who ironed his shirt today?
So let me get this straight, we don't know if the guy is guilty, so is it unfair to call him a rapist? also if he is innocent you think he should still step aside? really?
Hasn't read it but denies allegations. Unusual defence to say the least. Wonder how the man who doesn't hold hoses will spin this...
The thing is:- If he'd admitted he did it you'd all beleive him. But when he admits that he didn't do it, you all imply he's lying. Thats rather disingenuous and inconsistent, is it not?
Bullshit now take ur mental health leave u soft Pratt
4 Corners sequel surely must follow?
I couldn't read the allegations levelled as they were forwarded to AFP. Surely PMO keeps copies of all correspondence in, especially when they forward it, should there be a dispute re info sent, no wait, just another example of plausible deniability.
ABCthedrum Now Christian Porter knows how Bill Shorten feels. Politics has everything to do with politics, nothing to do with truth or justice. We all support the player that bats for our team. We are all dishonest in that way.
ABCthedrum codswallop - he has shown no interest in even reading the letter. Robodebt, asylum seekers and innocence give lie to this person's performance. He should be standing aside and requesting a full inquiry into the letters, the person and the death.
Ibelieveher
the AFP and other Cops have been for yrs in bed with the Liberals minister is Dutton xcop
A very dark day for Australia. The rule of law now gone. Due process and procedural fairness now just distant memories. Porter having to defend nothing but baseless lies is a disgrace
Presser was pure grooming by AG/Porter. Survivors know.
If he’s innocent? Will there be consequences for the accuser? 🤔
So the 4 Corners programme about sexual misconduct in the senior ranks of the Fed LNP, was just a prelude to more sinister events !! 🤔🤔🤔
ABCthedrum or denies allegations of strenuous rape - unhistorically.
Vile coverage ABC. Do better. A 'shattered man'? What about the woman whose life was destroyed? ResignPorter PorterGATE March4Justice
Of course denies the rape. The victim was lying is what he is saying. We all know who the liar is. How terrible for the woman's family to have this greasy stain say 'it simply did not happen ' he had form. People of his electorate please vote him out!
He needs to go
CabinetMonster
Thank you for your outstanding service to this country Christian Porter. Accusations confused with action, public opinion elevated over the law - result anarchy. I personally am convinced you spoke the truth, as are many others.
If you have young daughter keep them away from politicians
So let's imagine he did do what he's being accused of. Does anyone think he would actually come out and admit it? People, especially the privleged rich and powerful, do not admit to crimes they can easily get away with by simply denying them.
My translation of his speech 'Thank God she's dead and this can't go to court. I'll just take a little holiday and wait for the media interest to blow over. ScoMo can't sack me because he's only got a 1 seat majority'.
No doubt Porter will quietly slip back into his role in a few weeks. Allegations, confirmed through a diary and other sources, turn into 'he said she said', turn into noise in the wind.
Did anyone seriously excepted for him to say “yeah I did it”? God help woman of this country.
g d t n!
Why not 'strenuously refutes'? Have you finally checked a dictionary?
It is shocking to see how the media in this county are sensationalising such witch hunts and destroying the lives of public figures proposing the verdict “guilty before being proven innocent” Disgusting ! Period!
Resign him!
It's sad our system attracts and rewards the same narcissistic and sociopathic personality types, over and over again. And voters keep voting for these same kinds of people. I hope we soon recognise we need to accept different kinds of leaders.
A bit late. An innocent person doesn't delay coming forward. Or does he not know the law of the land? What a scumbag. If he stays. Scomo should go. This is an abject failure of leadership.
InvestigatePorter
Resign cporterwa
Crying like a Victim. Poor Christian
This is the same man 4 corners did a report regarding his deplorable behaviour towards women. To see it’s him outed is not a surprise at all!
The fact that 80% of Australia beloved he is a sexual predator and or that he would do something like that doesn’t speak well for him...he needs to resign
What gets me is the fukwits on this thread that are assuming he is guilty are the same wankers that scream for evidence in every other scenario. No one knows if the allegation is real therefore presumption of innocence applies
Let the police investigate don't block the police like billshortenmp did
So its all just 'he said, she said'. Innocent till proven guilty. Thats what the law folk tell us.
Enjoying yourselves?
Yeah. I’m pretty sure Ivan Millat strenuously denied the allegations when he was first accused also.
His position as A-G is totally untenable. Such arrogance to assume he can resume being the senior law officer of the country.
I’d be more inclined to believe him if he hadn’t taken so long to front up
Did anyone ask Porter why he changed his Wikipedia page and other online references to the late 80's It's all a bit WRONG.
Wow, this man is clearly shaken by these allegations, yes allegations, not proven. So if a woman makes a ‘sexual allegation’, against you, you are auto mantically guilty and you should lay down like a dog and allow to have your life and job ripped away from you.
So innocent....
So is this the new response to being held accountable by the public: 1: deny ever reading or seeing the evidence/facts 2: Play Victim 3: go and hideaway for couple of weeks and hope when you come back it’s forgotten about and move on, but under no circumstances StepDown Resign
Does the LNP hold a majority on the floor of the HoR with the AG absent? I understand 'Pairing' principles, but are they legally applicable? What if the Opp deny a 'Pair' and brings on a No Confidence motion? They could argue the Nation's mental health as justification.🤔
Remembers the victim showing them, all three (nameless) guys how to iron. Wonder what they recall
Strenuously.
This is going to get hatred. But there would never have been any charge even if the women was still alive. It would come down to a he said she said matter. And seeing they were both under 18. Time does not help these matters.
ABCthedrum If what Porter says is to be believed, then he’d want an Independent Investigation to clear his name wouldn’t he? That he said he doesn’t says it all.
I feel so sorry for this man, he is ‘innocent until proven guilty’, not the other way around. If the police found no evidence of this women’s 30 year lapse of making this allegation then the media and those in government, the usual Greens/Labour hypocrites should just zip it.
A lot of Catholic priests pretty much said the same.
You forgot the tears... “A tearful sorry for himself sooky la la denied a rape allegation, insulted the woman and her family because it’s all about him.” There, fixed it for you.
I. Do. Not. Believe. Porter. StepDown
Hmm. Linda Reynolds on leave re mental heath arising out of 'rape' issue. Now Christian Porter goes on leave with similar reason (excuse). Who next? ScottMorrisonMP LiberalAus
When think of he is the one in charge of the whole country justice system....I'm terrified....He didn't even address victim's name as what a typical liar does in its statement according to psychological expert ....
Well no surprises there 4corners flagged, tagged AND bagged him BUT somehow .... nothing to see this time is Post hoc ergo propter hoc applicable this time i’m not sure 🤔? back to you shaunmicallef charliepick for proper analysis
This man has so much form there's no way he's telling the truth.
ABC’s Gutter journalism. A cruel Labour backed Witch hunt. “Guilty until proven innocent it seems”. How many more lives are they planning to destroy? And why on earth are we funding this institution ?
Gaslighting! This is not the first time cp - pale stale male - entitled and unrepentant. Pollies have been rolled for a bear, for a bottle of vino.... but not for rape? What? Are women worth so little? 🔥
If only Mr. Porter didn't already have an inglorious and consistent trail of misogyny and crude behaviour behind him, he might have been given the benefit of the doubt.
IBelieveKatharineThornton
Of course he does-just like all the others
I'm very uneasy about the ABC's reference to an 'anonymous' letter as if that was the only substance to the allegation. The only anonymous part was the covering letter. The rest was first person testimony from the victim.
Those crocodile tears 🤮 This man in untouchable & will never be brought to justice.
Innocent or guilty he’s on a hiding to nothing ,press disgraceful there like to see what’s in there closet
I strenuously don't believe him.
Good guy. He should sue her estate
'My guess is that if I were to resign, and that were to set a new standard...' We're not asking you to resign, we're asking for an investigation not to be thrown out by the police while you ironically waffle on about the way the law works.
ABCthedrum “Strenuously” may not mean what you think it does then. “Self-pityingly blames media and calls victim a liar in train-wreck press conference” more like it.
This AG's position is untenable
Shocker
ABCthedrum No credibility
Wasn’t there a four corners report about him in 2020, detailing similar predatory behaviour? Someone with this rich of a history of sexual misconduct needs to be sacked.
I think he did it after revelation from the 4 corners program not long ago.
ABCthedrum Jeez, he looked so innocent, loved the crocodile tears he was squeezing out.
I don’t like Christian Porter. I agree with his statement that every time somebody is a accussed without a legal charge, they should not stand down. The media have done their job but they are not a court. I’d like an independent review followed by a inquiry if justified.
Of course he does, I believe the woman
One of many telling back pedals was, to the best of his knowledge he had not been in contact with her since the event, forensic analysis on historic emails in an enquiry might change his mind on that.
Christian Porter but...........
DARVO: Deny And Reverse Victim and Offender. Classic abuser tactic.
🤣🤣wasn’t hard to guess it was him before the announcement creep
Boo boo hoo....not buying this.
Why would she lie?
WE DON'T BELIEVE HIM. HE MUST GO
So, dots on the presser: *I’m being verballed. *Nobody who has done good things can do bad things. *Because I’m a high achiever I couldn’t have done it. *Bill didn’t resign his ministry even though he was in opposition...
His reputation regarding his attitude to women precedes him. I am not involved in journalism or politics and guessed the allegations would be about him
Don't like the look of him. Very creepy.
I'm sorry your daughter is dead but she's a big fat liar! Yeah, he is a prince.
A reminder. Rolf Harris, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein also strenuously denied allegations. I believe the woman. I believe he raped her.
Look at all the Labor grubs who backed Bill Shorten now frothing at the mouth over this situation... it’s never about the principle for Labor supporters... only the side
This bloke coaches people on testimony for a living. This performance is beyond pathetic. What the bet he has a little faint. Two weeks off to let things cool down, then back to business. The questioning is good as far as I can tell.
As a voter in Pearce, can we please bring forward the Federal election? I‘d very much like the opportunity to help Mr Porter stand aside.
“Well he would (say that), wouldn’t he?”
This is very painful to watch. Smoke. Fire.
Guilty as sin.
He is pathetic!!!!!! I am getting more angry not less.
how can you prove this from 1988. impossible
Why when I found out it was Christian Porter, I wasn’t surprised!
Guilty until proven innocent! Unless you are a leftie then you are innocent until proven guilty.
Oh well, he denies it. Case closed.
TLDR - 'I didn't rape anyone... but also, I don't support an independent inquiry to provide any legitimacy to what I just said.' - Christian Porter, member for Pearse. Let that sink in.
Ok, call me gullible, you wouldn’t be the first but I believe him. He should be a professional actor, if I’m wrong.
Isn't he the one from the 4Corners episode that denied everything there as well? There's a pattern here. You don't get accused multiple times for no reason.
So our Attorney-General is an alleged rapist...
Should polygraph the sleaze
denies ever being approached by anyone ever or had theses matters put to him What have our Law enforcement Police Commissioners done coward in the Corners as TOP Law Office Federal Attorney General. was never interviewed
Those of us that have been involved with sociopaths have seen this approch, tone and victimhood before. We know the script dude. You think we are fools.
Did I just hear this man say that the event happened in January 1988?... I don’t recall the timeline ever being published?
Is Christian Porter quoting William Shakespeare? ie 'The lady doth protest too much, methinks'
'Trust me, I'm a politician'
'Prior to last Friday’s story in the ABC, no one in law enforcement, or the law or politics or the media ever [put] any specific allegations to me at all.' - so did the PM not ask him anything when he called him the wed before?
We knew the Morrison government will pull this crap. Everything scripted and managed by a PR team. The next step will be to discredit the dead victim. They are doing everything straight out of the playbook.
He placed HIMSELF above the law. As A-G, he refuses to move aside. He refuses to instigate an inquiry. He refuses to make any further efforts to clear this up He has blamed “politics” and whatever. If there has been another perpetrator, why does he not want to find out who it is?
Because of the photographers shutters constantly going one can hardly hear what the minister has to say. Extremely annoying.
Look at the Media baying for blood...what is different with Billy Shorten denying his rape allegations?
He’s been coached well in crocodile tears
Eat an entire bag of dicks ChristianPorter
I don’t believe him.
So the deceased woman picked him out randomly in her letter Was it a out-of-the-hat deal cporterwa where your name was the unlucky one she went with hesstruggling
Literally called it man guyrichardson30 ShaeThornton17
So can we use the title Alleged Child Rapist Christian Porter from now on?
Really annoyed at his sympathy for himself...and the weak little shaky voice.
Yeah... nah.
He looks & sounds guilty
ABC PR Wing to the rescue with ‘strenuously’.
I don't believe him.
rapist
Porter's drifting between sobs and contrived awareness
Someone needs to ask if he ever had sex with her?
I DO NOT BELIEVE HIM auspol
More sick leave for a Liberal minister. How many more sick leaves for ministers before this government comes apart at the seams totally. Jen needs to tell Scott to put his government to the electoral judgement ASAP.
Well he came out like Bill Shorten, i expect the Journos will now move on like they did with Shorten. Isn't that right ABC. Or you could get Milligan to make stuff up and hurt the family even more.
He only dates women under 50kgs because if they're any bigger they can fight him off.
Cry me a river Christian Porter- you’re a fucking monster
Unrepentant arrogance.
Poor little Porty Poo Loo.... Boo Hoo I'm the victim
Peter Slipper denied the allegations against him too😕
This guy again. He is a grub
Let's have a look at his communications and see if he called her at all via WhatsApp or other systems
Casting himself as a victim of the media and politicising the accusations against him. What a classless act CabinetRapist
This is nauseating to watch
He's taking time off as well? Now we have a stronger pattern forming... ScottyFromCoverUps ScottyTheRapistProtector
What a FAKE performance. Highly structured. Tears to begin then builds momentum just like in his old debating days. BINGO. Now he’s taking leave as well!!
Not impressed.
Whatever happens he is over and done with . No one votes for this fella again
Of course he does!!🙄
One of the reasons that no one believes him is that his behaviour with respect to the rape of a women all those years ago is consistent with the recent reporting of his behaviour by Milliganreports
Address’s the parents of the victim and says their daughter is a liar.
political_alert WE DON'T BELIEVE HIM
He has to resign
All he knows about the allegations is what he read in the media Didn’t the cops speak with him at all?
He’s playing the victim card and he’s just lied about when he knew about the rumours.
Fkn sleaze.
'Waaaaah. I'm a victim' - some guy that is a serial sex pest.
Entire thing scripted and coached to make him look like the victim
What a load of BS this is what Grace Tame warned of at the NPC.
Porter, what a cry baby minister.
Pathetic response Has he told her parents that she is a liar
Not believable
Creeps gonna Ceep
acting
Disgusting for him to suggest he is deserving of sympathy due to receiving 'trial by media'. The alleged victim is deceased and it is in the public interest for an independent enquiry to take place if the NSW Police will not investigate it.
What a surprise....not 🙄
Snivelling. Whining pathetic.
Don't believe him.
As expected. So she made it ALL up.... 'Ripleys ......'
