The Dorothy Hewett Award - Name remains by UWA

 In our current #METOO generation, for the life of me, I cannot understand why the University of UWA hasn't changed the title of their manuscript award. I wrote a letter back in 2018 insisting that they change the name of the award, only to be fobbed off. It smells like corruption! It seems to me, and it's only speculation, but in "speaking out" about their mother's pedophile pimping when they were children, Hewett's daughters must have been threatened by some hierarchy in the literature world, esp. a well-know publisher.  And how many women in high prestige jobs has this happened to? Just thousands folks!

BRITTANY HIGGINS  - Another #MeToo - A quote from the ABC. Ms Higgins had originally decided not to pursue a complaint with police as she felt that the pressure of going public about the rape "would affect her job". 

Brittany Higgins has alleged being raped by a federal staffer in Parliament House, and the matter is now due for the courts. And "justice matters". Since speaking publicly about the allegations, she has referred the matter to the Australian Federal Police.Says ABC news. "The ACT's Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold confirmed he received a partial brief of evidence and a request to provide advice on any prosecution."  

Here is a link to my previous post titled Dorothy Hewett Exposed as a Miscreeant

YES - As Glen Kirchner (a US Federal Prosecutor for 30 years) would say - "Justice Matters."
