adamlcarey Rape is the new tool to dethrone a politician or someone famous. I feel like media should only post when the case has been closed. We all saw what happen to the Brett kavanaugh story , a load of BS because DOJ didn’t recognise anti deep stater.
adamlcarey So many men are wrongly accused of rape these days, the same as muslims being accused of being terrorists, or refugees accused of being criminals. The real criminals are the politicians and the media, the rest is just bullshit being fed to a dumb and brainwashed society!

Jessica Whelan resigns as Liberal Party candidate after anti-Muslim social postsThe Liberal Party has accepted Jessica Whelan's resignation as the candidate for the seat of Lyons in Tasmania. It's pretty natural to be anti-Muslim, much like it's natural for Muslims to be anti-Westerner, they don't have the same cultural values, it is supposed to be solved by government not operating in context of subjective measures but by well-defined legal principles. Its a witch-hunt. And another one bites the dust ,there will be none left by election day , but the Prime Minister backs her.The first few times seemed to be a joke, but it’s no joke any more,LNP are racist.

Liberal candidate Jessica Whelan dumped after anti-Muslim social postsTasmanian Liberal candidate Jessica Whelan has been ditched by the party after a series of anti-Muslim social media posts under her name came to light. More bad news for ScottMorrisonMP and the Nasty Party Time to ditch Tony Abbott over the deal with David Leyonhelm to allow the ban on the Adler repeating shotgun to lapse. Mr Turnbull found out and killed it. 7000 units got onto our streets though. It's not rocket science. Australians are not fond of a hegemonic ideology that has spawned countless terrorist attacks globally. Political candidates reflecting this view are in touch with their electorates. To 'ditch' such candidates shows LiberalAus is weak. auspol ausvotes
