the Attorney General???
.......... I guess.... yes.........
it's a wonder Scomo has not got him to hold a press conference and explain the situation given he is the cabinets senoir legal advisor.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Email Matthew Deeble. He was with the pair on the night the incident was alleged to have happened and was privy to their interaction....
check the links
Emotion aside - as it has to be.
I read both links.
So far - only word of mouth - ie - hearsay.
From your link :
The woman who made the allegation against the Cabinet Minister was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and suffered from eating disorders.
She had previously attempted suicide and was admitted into psychiatric care in 2019.
She first disclosed the alleged rape in 2018, to a close male friend.
The following year, she began to contact other friends, some of whom she hadn't seen for some years.
DNA has been around in forensic - since the late 80's - had she reported this alleged ' rape ' - she would have been advised to go to/taken to - hospital - for consultation.
Did she take the advice - if not - it's legally - his/her word.
How do you prove such an atrocity happened - when given no real evidence.
I'm not excusing his ' current ' behavior - because ' legally ' that cannot colour a criminal case from 1988 - in which - his today - has nothing to do with - and would not be brought into evidence.

The legal argument is nigh on over. A public inquiry can ascertain facts from the night form those still livings recollections
Would you remember the night as a high school student you ranked 128 out of the 180 from a field of the worlds best University
debaters??? or would it be but a vague fog of your youth
Porter was at the relevant World University Debating Competition in Sydney in 1988
There were two teams competing made up of Australian (high) school students
1. Kate Thornton and Matthew Deeble.
2. Christian Porter and Daniel Mulino.
As high school students Porter ranked 128 best speaker and Thornton 129 out of a field of the worlds best University debaters.
https://web.archive.org/web/20160203194502/http://flynn.debating.net/
Australian (high) schools debating team 2 (Porter) ranked 58 ASDT2 (Thornton) ranked 68
Porter ranked 128 best speaker from team ADFS 2 and Thornton rated 129 ADFS 1
Matthew Deeble, now a NFP executive yesterday stated he was with the complainant and the accused on the night of the alleged assault and was prepared to give a statement.
Daniel Mulino who is now a ALP federal MP has made a public statement below on link.

Who else was present in the room the alleged rape took place.

Nobody that I am aware of just some empty liquor bottles.
The complainant stated that she agreed to perform a non penetrative sexual act on the accused but during the interlude she was forced to perform oral sex and then blacked put. She woke up in a bathtub being anally raped.
Greg Hunt was another of the mass debaters but it is unlikely that he was aware of either of them being at the event.

Once again - who else was in the room.
Did she go to get treatment - if not - why not.
Come on - what exactly - with these allegations - could possbly stand up in Court.
The grisly details are ' her's' - any proof. ??????

From Scott Morrison himself.
Women should be believed after coming forward.
on 03-03-2021 11:13 PM
Totally agree, but I assume this statement was made by Schomo addressing 'present' sexual assaults, rather than a claim made 16 years later when obviously no proof, no evidence and no witnesses are likely to be available to prove of refute.

You keep on coming back to "where's the proof". The fact is that because the woman is now dead and because no official statement was
taken from her the investigation could not proceed. No statement was taken from the AG or others because a statement was not
taken from the complainant.
That fact certainly does not mean that nothing occurred
The AG is Australia's top law maker and the integrity of the position should be beyond reproach.
Laura Tingle phrased it best when she said that the perception of the integrity of the office of the AG is just as important as the fact.
The AG could commission an independant inquiry into the matter with wide parameters and stand down until an outcome was
reached.
The AG can personally defend himself the complainant however cannot prosecute her claims.
Keeping Christian Porter as the AG or even as a member of the cabinet is now untenable and politically debilitating to the
government.
The PM knows it......... and I bet Jenny agrees
The AG had the chance to stop the trial by media by coming out when the accusations first surfaced, standing aside and ordering an
inquiry.
IMO he thought it would just all blow over storm in a teacup style. ( I think he still does)
Whether he did it or not he is now forever tarred with the boys club brush of obstinate male entitlement.
I have answered your questions you just riddle me two Cleaver Greene
Is he innocent or guilty?
Does the alleged and now dead woman deserve to have her story publically heard?
