'I feel like I'm being gaslit': Parents of young girl allegedly raped in children's hospital respond to health minister. FULL STORY: ab.co/3RLh8v6

Thank you to those who trusted me with their stories, and to the many people who came forward to me, but were unable to speak publicly due to the trauma of what they had experienced inside a mental health unit. FULL STORY: ab.co/3ZHiiJH

In Australian mental health units, women are drugged up, dehydrated and retraumatised. Now they're speaking out. FULL STORY: ab.co/3rBGUGZ

The real question is does it matter if she was wearing underwear? Aren't we past this? Women can choose to wear any amount of clothing and still get raped. I'd struggle to answer this question out of fear it would show "I was asking for it" sad to see #rapeculture alive and well.

This is madness. My family in Kyiv decided to stay in their home. Several are joining territorial defense forces. Highly-educated, middle class people in their 50s. They have options to leave. And they are CHOOSING to pick up guns to defend the encircled city. #StopPutin

Oh no! Grace Tame once smoked a bong?!?!? I'm the Deputy Mayor and I smoked bongs as a teenager. And I've still never been as cool as Grace Tame.

Smoking pot is not remotely a big deal, but trawling through old, personal photos of a young woman who’s known to the public bc her lived experience and advocacy against child sexual abuse and publishing them to humiliate and discredit her is deeply violating. Shame @DailyMailAU
