Summarization
Brittany Higgins is a former Liberal staffer who has been "exploited" by some sections of media for a story by publishing her private diary entries without the consent from court and the victim being demonized. People are fed up with the media's coverage of her story, and are cancelling their subscriptions, as well as advocating for support from the Press Council. Other people are speaking out in solidarity with Brittany, rallying for her rights, as well as for the rights of fellow victims. Brittany is speaking out about how she believes her former boss’s emotional tell-all interview with The Oz was bizarre and unsettling. Finally, the alleged sexual assault has never been proven, despite a multi-million dollar handout.

| 1626742841140711424 | In The Oz today is a story about how @BrittHiggins_ was ‘exploited’ by some sections of media for a story. And without a hint of irony, they publish Brittany’s private diary entries -that were given to police and never tendered to court as evidence ie never made public. Shameful. | 1242 |
| 1626702035692433421 | Once again, the victim is demonised and the people who steam-cleaned a couch are humanised. It never ever fucking changes. We’re so sorry, @BrittHiggins_ : you do NOT deserve this disgusting reporting. #NewsCorpse https://t.co/7vuheIl8Ph | 610 |
| 1627553976366559232 | Let’s be clear this backlash against @BrittHiggins_ is a backlash against all of us and we cannot and must not allow her to carry the full weight of this by herself. Her rights have been trashed because she stood up for women everywhere. https://t.co/MosdmjKWqT | 421 |
| 1627091897390104579 | Yesterday, we did a 🧵 on one of the biggest distortions of truth in the #NewsCorpse hit piece on @BrittHiggins_ yesterday. Today, we’re going to do another thread. Strap in. 1/13 | 339 |
| 1627105146756026368 | One option for @BrittHiggins_ & others to consider is a complaint to the Press Council based on standards 5,6 & 7 below. It’s one of the few accountability checks we have. https://t.co/JEt2aCASEl | 288 |
| 1627466104254894080 | Just phoned to cancel my subscriptions to Australian and Daily Telegraph due to being fed up with their @BrittHiggins_ coverage.

| 1626714804873486336 | You are not a victim @lindareynoldswa What we’ve learnt is that you are a selfish, self absorbed, cold hearted bitch. You tried to stop @BrittHiggins_ from sharing her story which was also your way of trying to silence other victims like myself! No one wants to hear your story | 197 |
| 1626705538938712064 | @BrittHiggins_ @AlboMP the @AusFedPolice are leaking. FIX IT. They are clearly corrupt. They covered for @SenatorCash. They sabotaged Kate Thornton by not passing on the diary to NSWPol. Now they are leaking private details to Murdoch press. Disgusting. Clean them up. | 196 |

| 1626709367734276096 | @BrittHiggins_ I’m so sorry, Brittany. I had thought this country is better than some corrupt, third-world regimes, but it’s clear some of our institutions are not to be trusted 😔 #auspol | 1104 |
