From the Swans to Scots: Blaming the alleged victim means a harrowing truth can be avoided
Jacqueline Maley In 2006, the now-deceased Muslim cleric Sheik Taj Aldin al-Hilali caused outrage when he gave a sermon comparing women who do not wear a headscarf to “uncovered meat” who invited sexual assault. “If you take uncovered meat and place it outside … without cover, and the cats come and eat it … whose fault is it, the cats' or the uncovered meat's?” he lectured a group of about 500 worshippers at a Ramadan sermon “The uncovered meat is the problem.

By Jacqueline Maley “With every new story that’s written about me by a different person, there’s a shift of the kaleidoscope,” Tame says. “And things get further and further away from the truth.”Credit:Adam Gibson Grace Tame is tiny, as though her physical self is in inverse proportion to her mighty character. When she walks through the door of Abundance on the Quay, a cafe in Hobart’s harbourside suburb of Bellerive, on a grey and icy Monday morning, I miss her at first.

Promotion info ABOUT THE BOOK: ‘The summer after I wrote the story that killed Tracey Doran, I had just stopped sleeping with two very different men, following involvement in what some people on the internet called a ‘sex scandal’, although when it was described that way it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that happened to me.

Sydney Writers' Festival - Julia Gillard: Women and Leadership
In October 2012, Julia Gillard received global attention for her speech in parliament on the treatment of women in professional and public life. Julia’s blistering attack on sexism and misogyny was a defiant turning point in the advancement of women in political leadership, but despite gains made towards equality, women still only make up around a quarter of parliamentarians, news-media leaders and judges worldwide.
A New Royal Biography Shows What A Total Boss The Queen Is
Getty Bower claims to have interviewed about 120 people for the book, and for my money the anecdotes in the book that ring most true are the ones involving the Queen. Elizabeth II is no fan of her second daughter-in-law, the former Camilla Parker Bowles-turned-Duchess of Cornwall, referring to her as “that wicked woman”. She refused to acknowledge Camilla for as long as possible, well after Charles and Diana’s divorce.

Barnaby Joyce And Vikki Campion Interview Broached Important Topic
Questions were not asked (or at least, not aired) about how Campion was shuffled between highly paid ministerial advisor jobs, and why Joyce, even though he said he knew he could not keep his job as Deputy Prime Minister once news of the pregnancy became known, continued to campaign in the New England by-election as though nothing was amiss. But for a self-serving, “tell all” interview where the participants were so guarded and obfuscated the truth, it was very revealing, just unintentionally so.

As with so many of her compatriots, she was fulfilling her dream of a year in London – spent waitressing and wearing miniskirts with greater impunity than was possible on the streets of Sydney's Pymble, where she grew up.
