All he had to do was stand up for the right of women to speak

Being lied about in the egregious way Pesutto, and his Liberal Party colleagues, did, was a new very serious low. Not only was it unfathomable that anyone would be so cavalier with such vile accusations but it’s mind-blowingly stupid to rely on Wikipedia as a trusted news source. He literally put my life at risk. Following his comments, the protests at my Let Women Speak events were far more intimidating and aggressive. In Auckland, I was lucky to get out alive.”

    I 9mitted to mention very high increases in household energy costs.

  2. Cassie of Sydney says:

    “She has by her selfish actions severely undercut Pesutto’s strategy, and by suing in defamation ensured this brou-ha-ha⁰ will run for maybe a couple of years. It’s all about her in her view.

    Rafiki doesn’t have a problem with a political leader defaming one of his own as a “Nazi?. Here’s a fact, Pesutto should NOT be smearing anyone as a Nazi. And here’s the truth, Moira Deeming and Kellie-Jay Keen are NOT Nazis.

    I have a question: how many incidents have there been of men or boys entering female toilets or change rooms? In practice is this a problem?”

    One is too many.

    Perhaps when you wrote the words “constant contrarian” above, you were describing yourself.

    So, you can’t name one achievement of Women?

    What is a woman/women then sad case?

  4. NFA says:

    Rafiki,

    The entire Liberal Party of Australia is typified by the likes of sad cases and has been since Whitlam.

    The entirety of the former Country Party Of Australia became sad cases like The National Party of Australia.

    Labor without u has split into various permutations.

    Show me one single party that is doing anything for middle class Australians and take your time!

    Course it’s not.
    99% of Women know this, then there are the Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists.

    One is too many.
    Any bloke who lets a toddler go into the Ladies alone because he’s too much of a wimp to accompany her is probably a Moira Deeming supporter,

  7. Franx says:

    Maybe it’s not about toilets. It’s not.
    The political class and their masters have succeeded in pitting the sexes against each other. As for the transgenders, they, denied their humanity as sexual beings, are being groomed into deluded states of superiority to take on lesser beings embodied in a different kind of humanity, one in which sex is an essential constituent of human nature. It’s humanity which is at stake in the gender issues. (Women in beauty are already rendered human imposters.)

    They are the only sex that can gestate and birth a human child sad case.

    Are you an AI bot created in a computer lab and your programmer failed to tell you that or the decision matrix is too convoluted for your processor to compute?

  10. NFA says:

    What else would you like to know of what women can do, sad sack?

  11. Raf, I agree,atm this is a fringe issue for most people who care about cost of living. That doesn’t make it an issue of no consequence.

    +1

  12. Whereas a male person wouldn’t (I assume) experience alarm, seeing a female person in a men’s rest room.

    That’s how it worked for me. Admittedly the ladies were queuing for the cubicles rather than approaching the urinals. (Break between the support act and U2 at Docklands in Melbourne.)

  13. C.L. says:

    Like most moderns, I’m not as easily shocked as I’d like to be.

    And I stake no claim to personal expertise in ultra-violent situations. I have – for what little it’s worth – played both rugby codes from boyhood to manhood; from that I learned what an angry group of men is capable of. Like most men, I have an instinctive situational awareness.

    Now… my reading of the Auckland mob (and I thought so at the time) was that Keen was indeed lucky to get out of there alive. It reminded me of Altamont – which the Rolling Stones were lucky to survive.

    For someone so allegedly in tune with Women, I thought it might have taken you less than 4 hours to arrive at the answer.

  15. Ed Case says:

    Maybe it’s not about toilets.

    On one level, it is.
    Subliminally, Women are being equated to Toilets.

    No wonder the Liberal Party got absolutely smashed by Female voters!

  16. C.L. says:

    Ed, please stop baiting people.

  17. Cassie of Sydney says:

    “Now… my reading of the Auckland mob (and I thought so at the time) was that Keen was indeed lucky to get out of there alive. It reminded me of Altamont – which the Rolling Stones were lucky to survive.”

    Your reading is correct. Keen has said that whilst being dragged through the howling feral mob by hired security (the Auckland police watched from afar), she thought that if she fell, that was it, she was gone, she would have been lynched, like that scene from Games of Thrones, Season 2. Further, the night before, on arrival at the hotel in Auckland (the first hotel had rescinded her reservation whilst she was on the plane from Oz to Auckland), she was greeted with a threatening letter under the door. So, they knew what room and hotel she was in. Charming. Her husband, back in leafy Wiltshire, UK, watched the livestream of what was happening in the park, saw her being dragged through and he immediately booked a flight for her to get the hell out of NZ. After getting through the park, the police, who’d been watching, only decided then to take an interested in her, they took her to the police station where she was guarded by several police offers, with the specific instruction that nobody was to know she was there, because they feared the feral mob turning up outside the police station. They accompanied her to the airport and even walked with her to the door of the plane. It’s telling that Keen has said that when she got on the flight out of Auckland, and she arrived in Dubai, it was only then and there that she felt safe, yes, you read that right, she felt safer in Dubai than she had in Auckland New Zealand.

    There are numerous other examples of women’s rights campaigners being assaulted, in the US and UK, almost always underreported by a venal, compromised media. There have been sexual assaults by perverts in bathrooms, again deliberately underreported, because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Maria McLachlan was assaulted five years ago at the entrance to Hyde Park in London, and there are many, many others.

    That frenzied unhinged mob in Auckland was stirred up by a despicable media along with craven scum politicians like John Pesutto. The crowd in Auckland was screaming “Nazi” at Keen. John Pesutto helped stoke that howling mob.

    Ed, you’re a tool, I’ve been out coaching football and come back to more unhinged rantings, so there are plenty of achievements by women in women’s sport, but because you’re a knob, I’ll pick gymnastics where women can do things that men can’t compete with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi_5xbd5xdE

  20. Rafiki says:

    Nelson K-P
    Yes, the various ways in which those who would separate sex from gender are causing harm and distracting focus on the ways in which Australia is descending into 2nd world status. (A bit dramatic there).

    This points to my problem with Deeming. She has split the parliamentary Liberals, undermined Pesutto, and by suing him ensured that these effects will run on. After the speeches that started this, she should have looked for a way to make her position clear to her party, and left it that, so that her colleagues could get on with hammering Labor about its economic failings.

    This is enough from me

  21. Ed Case says:

    One thing I found odd.

    Bernie Finn went hard on the Abortion Issue 3 months out from the Election, the Liberals punted him and selected Moira Deeming in his spot.

    Bernie Finn later says he totally supports Moira Deeming’s candidacy.

    Now Deeming, being a Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist would almost certainly be on board with Abortion on Demand at least, yet Bernie Finn endorsed her?

    I’m thinkin’ the Victorian Liberal Party has long standing problems, and John Pesutto isn’t part of that?

  22. Cassie of Sydney says:

    Rafiki doesn’t have a problem with a parliamentary leader smearing and defaming women as Nazis.

    “This is enough from me”

    Yes, enough.

  23. NFA says:

    No Rafiki

    Pesutto and the liberals have shown what sad saks they are.

    The Liberal Party of Australia is a false front and merely gets a dividend from taxpayers and certainly have no allegiance, respect nor knowledge of their ordinary voters.

    They are a mob of sad saks and go for it, what have the liberals done for Australia just lately?

  24. NFA says:

    Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Good one Raf. You are a gem.

  27. NFA says:

    Now Ed Case, being a Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist would almost certainly be on board with Abortion on Demand at least,

  28. Cassie of Sydney says:

    Okay, so Deeming, Keen, Jones, Deves, Cassie of Sydney, and other women who want to protect female sex based rights, who don’t want perverts in female only bathrooms, who don’t want biological males competing against biological females in sport, are evil nasty witches who should be burnt at the stake so that the Victorian Liberals can “hammer Labor about its economic failings”.

    Let’s look at the Victorian Liberals and how the party hammers Labor on its economic failings….

    1. This would be the same Liberal party that barely whispered a word of protest during Victoria’s hellish lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, which bludgeoned the state economically, ballooned the state debt and smashed small and medium sized businesses into oblivion. The state, debt wise, is the worst in the country. Not once did the Victorian Liberals ever come out and question, critique and condemn the lockdowns. Not once did they march in solidarity with ordinary Victorians, no, they were too scared of mainstream media reporting along with Chairman’s Dan’s censures, particularly his “far-right” and “Nazi” salvos that he uses so effectively to castrate the Victorian Liberals. Not one major Victorian Liberal dared to join embattled ordinary Victorians when they dared to protest the lockdowns, even at the tail end of the lockdowns, back in mid to late 2021. Not once did the Victorian Liberals speak up for freedom and the fact that the lockdowns were crushing businesses, no, no, no, that was left to the only opposition in the state – David Limbrick and the Liberal Democrats.

    2. Let’s look at the Victorian Liberals and its history on energy and renewables. They not only agreed with Dan’s “renewables” push (and I don’t believe that the Liberal Party has reversed anything pledged last year), they went to the last state election with a renewable target higher than the federal Labor government. Yeah, that was sensible economics. They’ve said next to nothing about Dan’s bans on gas projects. In November 2018, John Pesutto lost his blue ribbon inner city seat in Chairman Dan’s landslide election and Pesutto, whilst the vote counting was happening, Pesutto was sitting on an ABC channel watching his hold on his electorate fade away and all he could do was babble adolescent climate change fear mongering because, we were told, his daughter attends student climate change protests. Yeah, that’s prospective leadership.

    3. Last October, only weeks before an election, Netball Australia (NA) selfishly refused to accept the generous Hancock Mining funding of the sporting code. Why? Because of politics. Gina’s an evil far-right witch who should also be burnt at the stake. Then we saw Chairman Dan, like some knight in a B-grade Hollywood film, ride to the rescue of NA, pledging “public funding” of the code, never mind that the state is in massive debt, never mind that a government should not be using taxpayer funds to bail out a sporting code. So what did the Liberals do? Did they hammer Labor on this?
    No, they promised to honour the NA deal if elected! So much for hammering Labor on economics!

    4. Last year the Victorian Liberals went to the state election promising that a Guy Liberal and National Government would deliver $2.00 train, tram and bus fares all day and every day to Victorians. Ah yes, that sensible economics from a so called conservative party, promising to subsidise public transport. LOL. So much for fiscal responsibility, so much for hammering Labor on economics.

    I could go on about the dismal state of the Victorian Liberal Party hammering Labor on economics. If only they did, and if they were bullish, I’d probably agree with Rafiki.
    But they’re not. Pesutto is a climate change hysteric who mirrors what Chairman Dan says and does. To be fair to the Victorian Liberals, they ain’t the only Liberal Party that spends its time madly waving its arms in the wind when it comes to renewables and so on, it’s dominant across federal and state Liberal Parties, we had it here in NSW. However, the Liberals at least here in NSW did hold power from 2011 through to 2023. So, they at least have a track record, which is simply not the case in Victoria or in most other states where the Liberal Party is now the permanent opposition party, and likely to stay in the wilderness for years, it not decades.

    However, all of this has made me think about right of centre parties and economics and other things. Apart from Trump, who actually does know what the malaise is across the West and who is willing to speak up about cultural and economic issues, no major right of centre party in the West is willing to swallow the bitter medicine that whilst economics is important, it isn’t the core issue anymore, right of centre parties must remember that politics is downstream from culture, they must be willing to stand up and speak up about a variety of issues, not just economics, but also cultural stuff, such as as the current plague of “transgenderism” afflicting the West. Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida knows this, and it’s why he’s turned a purple state to a solid red state. He kept the state open, he hammers economically but he hammers woke cultural Marxism. John Pesutto could learn a thing or two from DeSantis but what’s the bet that Pesutto and his various minions think DeSantis is a far-right loon? If the Victorian Liberals want to hammer Labor on economics, then they need to start speaking up about as reckless renewables and the push for net zero, they need to hammer Labor that without cheap reliable energy, there’ll be no economic upwind.

    Forget about hammering Labor, the sad truth is that John Pesutto and the Victorian Liberals are simply “ham actors” in a theatrical production where Chairman Dan is the lead actor, and the sad thing about Pesutto and the Victorian Liberals is that even fail at being “ham actors”.

    Deeming on abortion

    People who know me know that, yes, I am personally pro-life, but I accept that there’s a mandate for abortion laws and that,” she said.

    Asked whether she wanted to change the abortion laws, Ms Deeming said there was no democratic mandate for that and she respected democracy.

    “I mean, I would love it if nobody wanted to get an abortion. That’s what I would love. But that’s not the reality. And I do respect the Democratic process. There’s no mandate for it.

  30. rosie says:

    Are all women who want men, whatever they want to call themselves, out of women’s spaces now TERFS?
    Whatever.
    It’s just more ridiculous trolling.

  31. Franx says:

    So we now have the ‘pride’ brigades – euphoric though they be in their attack on feminists – now being targeted by ‘just stop oil’.
    We, the people, are being had, polarised and manipulated to distraction.
    All the while, the political parties are coalescing.
    It helps when managing renditions of the Endless Wars in and among the ‘communities’.

  32. Ed Case says:

    2 Bob each way Moira, eh?

    “I mean, I would love it if nobody wanted to get an abortion. That’s what I would love. But that’s not the reality. And I do respect the Democratic process. There’s no mandate for it.

    Okay.
    So presumably Bernie Finn accepts there’s no Mandate to ban Abortion, so why did he raise that very issue in the lead up to the 2022 Election ?

    Very well said, Cassie.

    Pesutto is no more a conservative or right-of-centre politician than Turnbull was, but solidly left wing.

    Jupes
    Like another poster here, in your case you may not have read my comment about hammering Labor on the economy carefully. I was speaking about what the Liberals should do now – “get on with (it)” that is. Past history, especially about non-economic matters, is largely irrelevant. It’s possible that the Victorian branch won’t act on the recent polling and their own observations, but it’s a strong possibility.

    Such a campaign is not helped by Jane(?) Hume making any comment, however vague, about Labor going in the right direction. Chalmers has used this to tie the Liberals to Labor’s policies on all fronts. Rather, hammer them constantly and never agree.
