Empathetic depiction of violent men by the media is wrong … after attack on woman MP

Reporting and opinion by Mathew Carr

This is what happens when the Epstein class rules the world, and it still does.

Media reports on attacker’s “lost potential” show bias against women’s plight by the Australian media, says Women’s Agenda boss.

Women face systematic and regular threats of rape and murder.

“In the wake of the horrific attack on independent MP Helen Haines in which she was struck twice by a Toyota LandCruiser outside her electorate office in Wangaratta, and has since lost both her legs, the media’s focus has been less on the palpable risks to women in public office and more about the man who allegedly attacked her and his lost potential,” said Tarla Lambert-Patel.
