michaelawhit Dude is so creepy. Australia forces women to keep secrets for their harassers and attackers.

michaelawhit Newscorp, being the vermin they are, will probably not pay.

michaelawhit Fakenews gonna Fakenews

michaelawhit This Wigney judge sounds like a real treat. So, are people now just assuming this woman was lying? And her big lie that she blew up her life to tell is that he stroked her breast? Sure, that tracks.

michaelawhit Bravo GeoffreyRush and you know the best word for MeToo

michaelawhit ew australia isn’t any better than america apparently! pigs getting paid to be pigs. gross.

michaelawhit Captain Barbossa be like 😉

michaelawhit The pig is rewarded for disgraceful behaviour. Will he donate the money to charity? Maybe fund the supply Sanitary Pads to homelessness women or young aboriginal girls in remote regional Australia who are force to steal them because Pads are expensive. He doesn't need the cash.

michaelawhit I just searched his name, and I didn't realise he has been in so many famous movies. At his age he did well. Really A grade movies. Its rare these says for older actors to have such an impressive fairly recent resume.

Breaking: Geoffrey says of his record payout it still not as big a RUSH as dancing in front of women naked! That crazee guy! 😒

michaelawhit Yeah well don’t Rush to spend it Geoffrey because they’ll probably take it back off you in due course!

news_australian michaelawhit good for Geoffrey!

michaelawhit 'As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods.They kill us for their sport' Shakespeare.King Lear I doubt Rupert has finished with Mr Rush.

michaelawhit Take what you can...

michaelawhit In time all men will be accused at some level, whether it be sexism, bullying or assault, women know it’s the easy win, the fashion, metoo weaponised. Beware ladies, they’re coming for your sons.

news_australian michaelawhit Good.

news_australian michaelawhit Look at him he is so happy.

Geoffery Rush deserves ten times the amount approved as compensation.

michaelawhit He looks so happy! Good on ya Geoff - bet you feel somewhat awkward ;)

michaelawhit Good! ,poor man...

michaelawhit Good. It's not 'woke' to merely accuse even in the Metoo era

michaelawhit We've been here before with Wilson. Higher court will over turn it, reduce it to about 20% of the current amount.. just enough to pay the lawyers and make the whole process pointless.

michaelawhit Who will now Sue Clive Palmer?
