The feminist mob attack again

I wasn’t a great fan of Craig McLachlan, the show-business personality. I knew him mostly for his television ‘look-at-me’ appearances and his part in that disgusting musical, ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ – that corrupt bit of musical slime, aimed at corrupting the youth.

That was until I saw McLachlan in ‘The Doctor Blake Mysteries’. His performance – getting into the character of Doctor Blake – made him for me unrecognisable as Craig McLachlan. Is this really Craig McLachlan? I asked myself. It ranks among the best acting performances I have seen on Australian television.

So, it was tremendously disappointing when the series was forced to shut down due to yet another disputed accusation against a man for sexual misconduct. The background to the shutdown, and the reason one of the best acting performances ended, is explained by Bettina Arndt in the article below.

Craig McLachlan under siege

– Not guilty but still under attack by the feminist mob.

Bettina Arndt, Apr 09, 2026

Over this month the Melbourne Comedy Festival will feature three women performing sketches celebrating “small moments in life that make us laugh.” These supposedly funny skits include a send up of a 2020 court case where one of Australia’s best-known entertainers, Craig McLachlan, was found not guilty of 13 charges of indecent assault and assault.

It’s hardly comedy gold. Particularly when one of the “funny” women was the star accuser — whose claims were shredded in court.

You would have thought this woman would be hanging her head in shame. But no. She’s out there claiming the court got it wrong.

That’s despite the fact that the magistrate awarded costs against the police. With the exception of cases which are withdrawn, costs are very rarely awarded against the police in criminal prosecutions. For a court to do so, it must have considered that it was an unmeritorious prosecution; in other words, charges should never have been laid in the first place. Victorian police ultimately paid out half a million dollars which is the highest payout ever against the police in Victoria!

This is confirmation that the allegations made by this witness and her fellow complainants didn’t stand up. All 13 charges were dismissed, and the police were forced to write Craig a fat $500,000 apology cheque.

DEI – the gigantic screwing of men

Bettina Arndt’s article below starts off with the high-earning lollipop ladies, but its central theme is the gigantic screwing of men through DEI policy. Feminists have achieved that degree of power that they can blackmail and bully companies into accepting quotas of females merely because they are female. This is an irrational policy that weakens Australia, especially its business sector, which relies on employing the best people for the job.

If Pauline Hanson undertakes to destroy DEI policy with its weakening of Australia’s businesses, she’ll have the votes of the majority of Australians, particularly men.

The Lollipop Ladies

– The women we love to hate.

Bettina Arndt, Mar 20, 2026

It’s easy to see why Melbourne’s Swinburne University promoted Aimee Stanton as one of their “pioneers for women.” She’s blond, lively, attractive and she’s a “celebrity”, having been a contestant on Australian Survivor and a presenter on a Channel 7 television program.

Most important of all, she’s a qualified female plumber – a very rare breed indeed. No wonder Swinburne couldn’t resist including her in many media stories, including their Stories for a Brighter Tomorrow promotion, with a whole page dedicated to this Swinburne alum who “survived and thrived as a lady tradie”.

The university was obviously very happy to overlook Ms Stanton’s blemishes. Minor defects like being a self-confessed perpetrator of sexual assault.

Feminist lessons on high

Television becomes our feminist preacher

– Plus exciting alternative to rigged criminal justice system

Bettina Arndt, Mar 06, 2026

It comes across as a laborious exercise in moral posturing, reeking of performative empathy, as the ER’s raw, unfiltered brutality is paused for a sanitized, educational interlude that virtue-signals the show’s progressive credentials.

The HBO television drama series, The Pitt, is brilliant entertainment. The show has won a stack of awards for its authentic, gripping portrayal of the grisly medical cases staff confront in a Pittsburgh emergency room.

In the second series we witness this constantly overwhelmed, high-stakes environment during a chaotic July 4th shift, with staff juggling life-or-death traumas amid bed shortages, diversions from other hospitals, and other crises. The heroic staff routinely cope with these relentless dramas with rough, gallows humour, sarcastic one-liners, and dark banter that keeps morale afloat amid the chaos.

But suddenly the mood changes. We are told of a new patient in triage – a “sexual assault survivor.” The atmosphere snaps into hushed solemnity: jokes vanish, voices drop, and the entire team shifts to gentle, deliberate, almost reverent tiptoeing.

Somehow, in the overflowing ER – where beds are scarce and staff stretched thin – there’s instant allocation of a private room, specialized lighting, and three dedicated professionals for hours of solemn and meticulous evidence collection.
