Resharing this The Guardian I wrote earlier this year. Despite the furore surrounding this case, one fundamental truth remains: try as some might, they can’t undo #MeToo ’s momentum. That momentum was, undeniably, aided by Higgins’ decision to come forward. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of coming back for his hat,' Justice Lee said.

'Mr Lehrmann is not entitled to the vindication of his reputation.'

But Brittany Higgins is. And so is Lisa Wilkinson

That vindication is profound. We knew. 💔😭💔

Finally.

The damage this man has left in his wake cannot be reversed or undone.

But the Federal Court telling the world that Brittany Higgins was to be believed about what happened isn’t nothing.

We knew.

Probably a good time to reflect on how devotedly and brutally mastheads and prominent commentators seek to undermine, discredit and destroy women who allege sexual assault, or report on sexual assault. There's been a lot of bullying masquerading as journalism; it infects.

Nope. Not. Even. Close. 💔

Hard day for a lot of people today, for a lot of different reasons. You’re loved, you’re believed and you can never be the perfect victim, because such a thing doesn’t ever exist.

Fabulous article about the cost of grandparenting. So much done with ♥️ for ♥️, & we know older women are forgoing income to help with childcare. 'Free' childcare can be expensive, & not counted in the GDP.

'More tinkering with federal subsidies won’t deliver the childcare system Australia needs – only a radical overhaul that, perhaps, makes childcare more like school will do that,' Matt Wade reports ... BINGO!

'Every child deserves access to quality early education between 0 and 5.' Our CEO, Georgie Dent, spoke to Narelda Jacobs 10 News First about the importance of early childhood education and care.

'If a local nurse can’t get childcare, you can see your one hospital missing out & directly link the two.

If a teacher cannot get childcare, you see your one school missing out ... until the teacher's own children reach school age,' via Gabrielle Chan

Lisa Bryant Georgie Dent The service I was with almost collapsed when they stopped funding us & started funding the parents- mainly because the rebate model doesn’t work in a remote service with only a handful of families. There needs to be a better way to ensure service delivery & affordability.

Maybe it’s time to fund childcare centres rather than parents? It’s a funding model that works for schools! afr.com/policy/health-…
