Moira Deeming MP

@DimiMAFC I meant in terms of men’s feelings legally trumping women’s :)

@MoiraDeemingMP I wouldn’t call that patriarchy. Real men don’t excuse that kind of bullshit.

Fine. I’ll talk about misogyny.👇 #moiradeeming #liberal #womensupportingwomen #politics #fyp

Not sure you & I are speaking of the same concept. But just in case, it might please you to know that I am a First Nations woman of colour and the first Victorian MP of Māori heritage. Re teaching- DEI would have me teach to a lower standard based on arbitrary criteria- and treat my students as though they have no agency. But I will never destroy hope in their future or faith in their ability to learn, I will never discriminate against my students, I will challenge myself to be a better teacher and meet their needs- and I will never-never- let them think they are powerless to overcome challenges in their lives. I will never tell boys they are inherently harmful inside, I will never tell girls they are worth less than the boys, I will never tell any of my students their skin colour is some kind of affliction or hurdle in society, I will be telling all of them to train for excellence of character and arm themselves with as much skill as possible, let any wrongs and tragedies in their lives do the wisening, strengthening work as they heal, and with their wits about them- go out & do good in the world. Every child is unique, no need to worry about that .

@MoiraDeemingMP @leslierenfrew Did you just state you are against DEI? 😱 I truly understand why conservatives do not have the female or youth vote. You were a school teacher? So did you refuse to teach a student who had for eg: Dyspraxia, Speech Language Impairment, Dyslexia?

@MisinfoFact Men have something to do with violent sexual offending against women.

@MoiraDeemingMP What do sex offenders have to do with trans people?

@leslierenfrew Yeah- I’m against DEI- just find it absurd that they resurrected long dead misogyny…

@MoiraDeemingMP yeah, but patriarchy brought it back with assistance of some v stupid women. women need better strategy for our growing toxic women problem.

@salltweets It’s to the everlasting shame of law makers that you have even had to do this. I’m so sorry xx

**Giggle v Tickle** Unfortunately, there are still no updates. We have been waiting for a decision for 7 months & just over 1 week. It is longer than the average case, which is a bit strange considering there is zero discovery to discover. It’s just… “do women still have rights or no?” Everything about this has gone on as long as it possibly could. So, let’s look at the time line of the whole damn thing: *ahem* * December 2021 - Tickle filed the AHRC complaint. * January 2022 - I received the AHRC complaint. It was a hell week. I was 14 weeks pregnant, in isolation with COVID, Giggle was under attack yet again from thousands of “gamer boys” wearing headsets & trying to access & leaving 1 star reviews claiming to be rejected black women (seriously). Business Insider ran a story about the app being racist (it wasn’t at all) & didn’t print my response/evidence. THEN I received the AHRC complaint. Looking back, I don’t know how I coped with that week. * April 2022 - I officially said “no” to settling at the AHRC. To do so, I would have had to let Tickle onto the app, let all men who claim to be women onto the app, apologize, attend sex & gender education, pay him $20,000 & moderate content so men who claim to be women weren’t offended by anything women were saying. F—k no. * June 2022 - Tickle filed in Federal Court. * July 2022 - Tickle withdrew the case from Federal Court. It was a week before my daughter was born. * August 2022 - Taking the whole situation as a win for standing my ground, we were moving forward with the app. It needed a lot of work & updates from 2.5 years of running. We didn’t have the budget to do the work while running it. We decided to take it offline & relaunch it on our own terms - finally! - a few months later, better than ever. Giggle 2.0. * December 2022 - Tickle refiled in Federal Court before we could relaunch the app. I found out about it at 11am on NYE via an article in The Guardian. I hadn’t been served yet. Because Tickle was refilling on the same AHRC complaint claim, he was technically “out of time”. There’s a 60 day time limit to file in court after AHRC complaints. He was now 6 months out of time, because he’d withdrawn. The court had to allow it through. * April 2023 - First court hearing, arguing whether the case should go ahead. * June 2023 - The Federal Court allows the case to go ahead. A year after he had withdrawn. Now, we were back to where we were in June 2022. An extra year had been added to the process. So when Tickle cries on the steps about how this has stolen time in his life, remember: he withdrew, he refilled. His actions added the extra time. I was ready to go in 2022. * July 2023 - The AHRC applies to intervene as amicus curiae aka “friend of the court”. Specifically, it’s the sex discrimination commission applying to intervene. They have a right to be amicus, as the SDC is the custodian of the sex discrimination act. This case is entirely about the SDA. A bit of irony: the sex discrimination commissioner applied to intervene to defend gender identity over sex in the sex discrimination act. I’m the one defending sex. * April 2024 - Tickle v Giggle hearing in federal court over 3 days. Tickle sat with the SDC, not his legal team. The SDC argued that being a woman comes down to a thought in one’s mind. Tickle’s barrister called me “Ms Tickle” and him “he” many times during X-examination. She routinely had to correct herself. She tried to established that I had sold hundreds of thousands worth of novelty candles featuring a meme of Tickle on it. I had nothing to do with the candle. When she demanded I look at picture of the candle, I laughed at it for maybe 3 seconds. I apologized immediately. She yelled at me. It was completely bizarre. She asked if I thought it was unkind to not call him “Ms Tickle”. I said it was unkind to force someone to accept a man as a woman. 1/3

@myletrinh123 That is outrageous.

Expose published the John Smith Story in 2023. 👏 👇 theexposenews.com/2023/08/15/ahp…

@KathyLette @tanya_plibersek @suigenerisjen Tanya Plibersek voted to remove the definition of woman from the sex discrimination act.

@i_borborygmi Ha you can’t even see most of them from this angle haha

@MoiraDeemingMP Damn. Your boardgame...uh, 'game'... ... is pretty strong!!

Pretending not to notice their abject failure to pack up as requested-not just because they are being cute and happy, but because I have an excuse to rest now too 😂

@Lisa9Sophia It is :)

@MoiraDeemingMP I really hope this is your living room, because it looks so much fun for kids 😊

@ShereleMoody WHAAAT??? HOW?!?!

Not only did Cody Haywood Schaeffer avoid going to jail for multiple assaults on boys, he’s still got all of his awards including an Order of Australia Medal. STORY: australianfemicidewatch.org/2026/03/15/cod…

@RitaPanahi You’ve been phenomenal every time x thank you @RitaPanahi

Shame on every single "journo" who joined this pile on. As I wrote when the story broke the Hawthorn racism report was deeply flawed & full of obvious untruths/logical fallacies. And yet the usual suspects did not hesitate to uncritically accept every absurd claim.

@mdtlion I’m sorry, yes. Always collateral damage in these things.

@MoiraDeemingMP Spot on! And don’t forget the legendary Chris Fagan… he was dragged into this too.

💔 Yep. False accusations are bad enough, but when followed by farcical bad faith “mediations” and compounded by institutional abuse and retribution- acknowledgment that the original smear was false heals nothing and does nothing to improve the real toxic cultures of the institutions responsible. I wish Clarkson & his family all the very best.

@weKnowThatUKnow @msediewyatt Yes, apologies if my sarcasm didn’t come though - was aiming at the absurdity of blaming women for a man’s actions.

@MoiraDeemingMP @msediewyatt “Women” do terrible things to each other as individuals. Women are not terrible and men are terrible. People who promote individuals as a collective are dangerous. People who divide communities by collectives destroy Australia. It’s Us Vs Them

Melbourne again @MoiraDeemingMP

@toadmeister Wow! Fantastic!

Just won my first victory in the House of Lords. An amendment I tabled to the Crime and Policing Bill that will permanently do away with non-crime hate incidents -- co-sponsored by Lords Hogan-Howe and Strasberger -- won by 227 votes to 221. 👊
