Just received from Bettina Arndt, it takes up the remainder of this post:
Hi Everybody,
Tricky TEQSA and a VP candidate who misuses her sexual power.
Interesting developments here, including revelations about Kamala Harris’ misuse of sexual power. Also I urgently need your help with the latest phase of my campus kangaroo court campaign – see below.
But first, our university regulator, TEQSA, has proved once again that they are a toothless tiger, more interested in pandering to feminist lobby groups than addressing critical governance issues vital to the welfare of much of the student body.
Last year I exposed the fact that TEQSA was responsible for the campus kangaroo courts, having issued a “guidance note” in 2018 which encouraged the universities to introduce regulations to investigate and adjudicate sexual assault. They were responding to pressure from feminist lobby groups keen to ensure more rape convictions by using a lower standard of proof to determine the guilt of accused male students. In my May newsletter I pointed out Joe Biden was a key player in forcing American universities in this direction – and our universities, under the guidance of TEQSA, have simply followed suit.
Many of you will have seen the video of Senator Amanda Stoker grilling TEQSA bureaucrats about the appallingly unfair system that followed their careless advice. The regulations introduced by the universities contained barely a word about ensuring proper legal rights for accused young men. These students face secretive, unsupervised committees determining their guilt on the balance of probabilities with power to impose serious penalties including expulsion from the university.
But then came the Queensland Supreme Court case which determined these kangaroo courts were illegal followed by Dan Tehan’s advice at the TEQSA conference last November that universities should leave sexual assault to the criminal courts. See a summary of these developments here.
TEQSA shows itself to be captured – again
A few weeks ago, TEQSA produced a new 76-page document – a “Good Practice Note” on this issue. This document, written by a group of authors who included two End Rape on Campus activists, mentions neither the Queensland Supreme Court case nor the Education Minister’s advice to TEQSA.
Instead, the TEQSA good practice note advises the universities that whilst they can’t conduct “criminal investigations” for sexual assault they can “deal with the matter under their own misconduct procedures,” providing advice about handling these investigations which neatly sidestep all the key contentious issues.
The university-imposed penalties for sexual assault are mentioned without any explanation of what laws permit universities to withhold degrees or suspend students from their studies. As Senator Stoker pointed out to TEQSA, sexual assault legislation does not include penalties which include robbing young men of degrees worth tens of thousands of dollars and many years of study. It’s notable that TEQSA fails once again to address the legality of these penalties.
The latest TEQSA document makes a token effort to address the lack of due process rights for the accused suggesting that the nameless university administrators tasked with deciding the fate of accused students are now expected to receive appropriate training, provide evidence to the accused regarding the accusations, keep proper records and ensure their reports are procedurally fair.
But there’s no mention of the most glaring failure to provide basic rights for the accused – access to lawyers. Only three Australian universities definitively allow accused students to be advised by lawyers during their investigations.
Slap in the face for Dan Tehan
This deliberately deceptive document shows the arrogance of the university bureaucrats who feel no need to explain why they are encouraging universities to proceed with investigations deemed illegal and ignore the advice of their Minister. To proudly include End Rape on Campus activists amongst their predominantly female list of authors speaks to their sense of entitlement, their assurance that no one will question their right to prosecute these cases any way they damn well like.
As one tiny example of the subtle anti-male bias which permeates the entire document, I loved the advice on p35 regarding assistance to alleged perpetrators which suggests these young men should be referred to a Behaviour Change Counselling at the Rape and Domestic Violence Service. Hmm, the allegations have yet to be investigated and he’s sent off for behaviour change. Straight from the feminist copybook.
Time for action- can you help?
It’s a very good time to draw public attention to what’s going on here, with the universities facing a huge financial crisis and having muddied their copybooks with all manner of free speech scandals – think UNSW’s censorship over Hong Kong politics, Drew Pavlou’s suspension, and Peter Ridd’s battle with James Cook.
The Coalition has just announced legislation for their Job-ready Graduates package, which rightly focusses on improved transparency as well as sustainability in higher education.
I’ve prepared a draft letter for you to send to Coalition Senators and MPs, proposing an amendment to the legislation instructing universities to focus on their core business rather than running illegal kangaroo courts involving expensive administrative processes but also exposing these institutions to potential lawsuits over failure to protect basic legal rights of the accused.
And given that TEQSA’s latest effort provides further evidence of the failure of the university regulator to properly advise the tertiary sector on this important issue, we are also suggesting the Education Minister institute a proper review into TEQSA’s operation, in keeping with the Coalitions’ call for greater transparency in higher education.
We need you all to step up so that we send letters to all Coalition members of parliament – as part of our ongoing campaign to alert key policy makers to this unjust system. Please contact Irene so she can send you the draft letter and keep track of correspondence.
Janice Fiamengo calls out Kamala Harris for sexual exploitation.
Canadian men’s rights activist Janice Fiamengo has just released a brilliant video exposing Joe Biden’s newly announced Vice-President running mate, Kamala Harris, as an identity politics ideologue, the perfect match for Biden.
Fiamengo points out Biden was architect of the Violence Against Women Act, and is a man who has done more than any other politician to destroy due process protections for accused men.
But Kamala Harris has also been in the thick of all the recent identity politics issues, a proud feminist who proclaimed she’s never met a #MeToo survivor she didn’t believe, including those women who claimed to have been inappropriately touched by Jo Biden!
Fiamengo also reveals an intriguing aspect of Harris’ personal history. At age 29 the newly graduated litigator had an affair with the then 60-year-old Democrat House Speaker for the Californian State Assembly, Willie Brown. During the two years the two were in a relationship, Brown appointed Harris to two high-profile, well-paid government positions – jobs she was unlikely to have achieved on her own merits.
Fiamengo calls this out as “sexual exploitation,” describing as the “female side of sexual harassment” this process of a woman using her sexual power to extort political or other favours from a man.
“The question is if men are to be condemned for exploiting their power for sexual access supposedly because it hurts all women and warps workplace cultures, then why are women held guiltless when they exploit their sexual power for political and other access? Do their actions not also corrupt workplace cultures breeding favouritism, resentment, mistrust, apathy and rancour?”
It’s an excellent point but don’t expect it to get much play in a culture where any deviation from the feminist narrative is firmly suppressed by our captured mainstream media.
Until next time, Tina

I was delighted earlier this evening to be directed by Gabriel to nine videos by ManWomanMyth (Rowland Adelagun) which were not already on our playlist of 119 videos by MWM. I’ve just published them on our YouTube channel and added them to that playlist, they’re the nine videos at the top of the list. Enjoy.

Our thanks to Steve for this piece on Sky:
A police constable who admitted engaging in sex acts with a senior officer at their police station has been given a final written warning.
PC Jemma Dicks, 28, broke into tears after receiving the decision, having heard a panel conclude her actions amounted to gross misconduct.
She was told the warning would last for 18 months, and any future misconduct during that time could lead to her dismissal.
PC Dicks was said to have brought the reputation of the police service into disrepute after performing sex acts on ex-sergeant Adam Reed, 40, at Cardiff Central police station on at least three occasions.
A misconduct hearing was told that although PC Dicks’s actions damaged the service’s reputation, she had not sought to cover up the episodes and showed “genuine remorse”.
Mr Reed was not subject to the proceedings as he has left the force.
The hearing was also told “predatory” Mr Reed would have been dismissed without notice from South Wales Police for “orchestrating” the encounters if he had not already quit after facing allegations.
As a result of the decision, his name will be placed on the policing barred list.
PC Dicks did not deliberately set out to have sex at work and while on duty, [J4MB emphasis: Well, who does, apart from sex workers?] and was having “very difficult family circumstances” at the time after her police officer father died, said panel chairwoman Emma Boothroyd.
The panel head also referred to testimonials from PC Dicks’s colleagues that she was a “hard-working, diligent officer”, and was unlikely to repeat her conduct.
The hearing was previously told married father-of-two Mr Reed had “manipulated” PC Dicks during their 10-month affair, with the younger officer seeing him as a replacement for her father Mark Dicks. [J4MB emphasis.]
The session was told that PC Dicks performing sex acts on Mr Reed between November 2017 and August 2018 – including once while she was on duty – was a “serious breach of professional behaviour”.
PC Dicks, who was supported by a domestic violence charity, [J4MB emphasis] told the hearing she willingly performed the acts to please Mr Reed and to avoid upsetting him, believing they were in a relationship and after he had made threats to kill himself.
The hearing was told images on Mr Reed’s phone showed he had sexual encounters with another police colleague as well as three civilian women around the time he was meeting PC Dicks, all while he remained with his wife.
PC Dicks said Mr Reed was abusive and controlling during their affair, saying he accused her of sleeping with other men, and often went through her phone messages, refusing her access to her friends and events.
PC Dicks is working in the force’s incident resolution team, where officers deal with matters over the phone which do not require a police callout.
Three separate allegations facing Mr Reed, who left the force in January 2019, were also found proven, amounting to gross misconduct.
