Wow. Watched the show on seven after the footy.

What a tough bloke.

Well done for fighting for justice.

Makes you really wonder whats going on with some people who will let the media tell them what to say.

Sorry its a powerful story and I neeeded to vent.

Anyone battling mental health demons.. hang in there. You are stronger than you think.

 

I'm on board - he was guilty until proven innocent - by a magistrate.

An ABC producer is now accused of putting some mayo on the accusations as in "tell it like this it sounds more deplorable".

The me-too movement did good in highlighting crimes against woman but the notion that belief in the veracity of an account trumps the presumption of innocence is wrong.

As a Dinosaur I get uncomfortable with public displays of emotion such as Craig's. He is in the theatre and he is also suing for defamation which tempers my trust in his account. But the arguments were made in court and found in his favour and I dont doubt that the PC world of the ABC and theatre will have condemned him without trial.

I didn't see the interview, but I notice that three more women have come out and made allegations that he behaved inappropriately. That's adding up to a lot of women. Sounds like a creep, if nothing else. Hardly 'fighting for justice' - fighting for his own reputation.

Also, I never like it in these situations when the alleged perp says he (usually a he) was 'proven innocent'. I know nothing about the law, but surely he was found not guilty on the grounds of insufficient evidence - a lack of proof? So many alleged sexual predators get off because there's 'no proof' - that may be because they didn't commit the crime, but it's also likely to be because these crimes usually take place in settings where there are no witnesses.

All of these women who are coming forward - even if their allegations don't result in convictions - are making the world a safer, fairer place.

The ABC getting taxpayer money is the greatest scam ever perpetrated on the Australian public.

Didn’t the Magistrate accept the Women’s evidence, but conviction thresh holds weren’t reached. 
Bill Cosby is now innocent - on a technicality.

It was more complicated than that. 

The outcome of that case was based on the alleged offender's subjective belief about the existence of the woman's consent. The law has since been changed; the test of the alleged offender's belief is now an objective test.

What about Cosby - guess he’s squeaky clean now. 
 

A female UK TV presenter - unaware of current action against CMc in Australia - has also come out with allegations. 
Don’t think the time statute or whatever applies to that one. 
Sounds more like Rolf 2.0

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
