Let Women SPeak - Australia & NZ tour

[ZombieMumEB]

I am so excited that this is coming to Australia - I will hopefully be attending.

Anyone else?

Someone's been editing John Pesutto's wiki page....

😁

@FOJN - that just about sums it up!

🤣

The viciousness astounds me, as does the complete disregard of the truth…

I am watching this now. And it is very concerning. When the crowd is booing a lesbian rape survivor describing her experience, you realise how fucked up this is.

And those Green’s pollies were proud of that behaviour?

Not only proud of their own and the other TRAs behaviour, but they have posted it all over their public/identifiable Twitter pages, used photos of themselves at the event for their cover photos, and referred to KJK as a Nazi multiple times - seemingly they are not concerned about defamation/libel?

I was watching it last night and I honestly felt petrified for those women. So brave. Especially that woman who just sat down at the end and spoke so calmly.

I want to be her when I grow up.

This stuff about women such as us being 'right wing' 'bigots' and 'nazis' left wing women like me and you with a history of being abused and harassed by men from every strata of society? this is being perpetuated by men. Men such as Owen Jones and Billy Bragg - his behaviour is shameful I cannot see anything in any of his tweets that says "you know, I understand women's concerns, I even wrote a song about men being violent towards women.."
These men are firing other men up to shout down and threaten women, not just KJK meetings but women only spaces such The Lesbian Project. Why aren't we angrier? Why aren't the 'good' males supporting us? Why are these men firing up such hatred towards women and directing their Twitter maniacs towards KJK and other women. Will
They be only be happy when yet another woman suffers at the hands of a violent male??
I have never felt such anger as I feel now towards these cowards. I even had a male ask me recently (a man I was in a relationship!!) why did I feel trans women using a changing room with me would be an issue? Where do I begin to tell these tedious cretins that's that's not the issue and it's much deeper thanks this. Men will NEVER know what it feels like to constantly be watchful as a female child and adult to try to keep yourself safe from sexual assault and violence.

I hope people have informed them of all the necessary information about Sophie, so they can decide if they want to align themselves.

Interesting account from @ therealrukshan who was there filming the event for 2 hours and looking at things from various perspectives…

I must admit to being very disappointed in Geoffrey Robertson last night on Q&A. He condemned the women by perpetuating the falsehood that the Neo-nazis were supporting the women's points.

Kirsten Banks took the view that the trans activists, whose lives are being 'threatened' were being pushed away by the police. She claims to have watched the footage. Yet seems to have missed that the trans activists rushing at the police for them to be 'pushed back'.

There really is a disconnect in thinking here.

Thanks for posting this - I'm not on Twitter but watched him and he was there recording this for over two hours and he says clearly that the women's rights speakers were very distinct from the nazi group, that the Antifa/socialists turned up to bounce against the Neo- Nazis and then the TRA were there to harass the women. All fucking male dominated groups to shut us down yet KJK is the one being publicly put in the stocks? Christ I am daily aghast at what I see.
If you can, share this bloke's video as it's no nonsense and he was actually there to witness it all.

I really want KJK to sue for libel/defamation. No idea how you can do that in another country, but the lies being told about her( and us) are outrageous, dangerous and being perpetuated across Australian media.

There would be enough just on the Green politicians Twitter - all the falsehoods are laid out in plain sight…

Are there any Australians who who can explain the defamation laws there?

Canberra on Thursday, I think?
Capital city of Australia
I wonder what tactics the TRAs and their friends in high places will employ there.

I haven't had time to catch up on everything that happened but it just seems to go from bad to worse.

And all these politicians ready to inflame the situation, more it seems for their personal profile. I thought UK politics was a dog's dinner, but this is horrifying as they seem so willing to ignore the basic fact that the event is to give women a voice, because normally women aren't listened to. And they want to side with men vs men, and show not respect for women.

How apt that the event is called Let Women Speak.

Apart from whether SfW / KJK can sue for libel, I was wondering their is a press complaints procedure in Australia. Most of the articles aren't news / reporting. They are just political posturing.

Standing For Women South Australia have a link on their facebook page to one such "story" ‘I’m no Nazi; just public enemy No. 1’ www.facebook.com/StandingForWomenSAlocals/posts/pfbid02zhD36v3S1mEhQ5KhHpAG8XUQZmyvZUUvkQqEzzB7pPjTEdDjwUZzQAUnNyGprKz1l

Statement from Senator Claire Chandler:

Sadly, I no longer feel that delivering this speech in Canberra on Thursday will enable these voices to be heard. I haven’t seen a single word of a speech given at the last two events reported by Australian media, with the entire focus consumed by those there to disrupt and scream over the top of women trying to speak about their rights, or, in the case of the Melbourne event, to hijack the event and the media attention for their own abhorrent purposes.

There is no assurance that it is even going to be safe for women to attend Thursday’s event.

That's a shame that Senator Chandler doesn't feel she can give her speech on Thursday. She's amazing, I really admire her courage and tenacity.

Looks like Australia isn't ready for the fightback. I'm so proud to like in the UK at the moment. We seem like the most free thinking nation on earth.

It's all very upsetting to me to see how women yet again are having to fight against baying mobs. So much of history has been like this for women.

I can only hope that women in Oz are curious to know what these women are actually saying and go check out the livestreams on YouTube for themselves?

huge respect for the women that attended and spoke at this event, looked very intimidating

It looked terrifying. Even how strong KJK is, she must be feeling awful. There's so much bullying of her on social media. It's really upsetting.

Australia is not the only country in the world and this issue is International.

KJK will be given air time, even if it's not in the cities she's visiting or even the country.

The appallingly underhand tactics of the media and the politicians in Australia will be publicised. Guarantee it.

Even if she gets banned from the country. People will want to know why.

But yes, she's got to be feeling it.

He's great. A thoughtful piece.

I've been looking at some of the Australian/New Zealand mainstream media coverage, talking about the "anti trans activist KJK" and her neo nazi allies.
All the web sites have their comments turned off - wonder why.....no I don't.
