George Pell, Harvey Weinstein, Michael Jackson. We remember the names of those who sicken us, but we give the institutions that enabled them a free pass. Why?
The lesson that Morgan learned, we should all learn
In the wake of the sexual allegations waved at him, Morgan Freeman claims that he has done nothing wrong. To be fair, we’ve all thought that, and we need re-education.
Morgan Freeman: Let us question God, not let the choir preach for him
With the claims against Morgan Freeman and the subsequent internet pushback, I contend that we should not use our warm assumptions to blanket him from blame.
While you were asleep: Weinstein to turn himself in, MH17 felled by Russia, Ronaldinho scores a brace
Friday. Hooray. It seems this morning that Harvey Weinstein will turn himself in, MH17 was felled by the Russians and Ronaldinho hopes to marry two women…at the same time. Ok.
With the Weinstein Company now broke, where to for #metoo?
With the Weinstein Company filing for bankruptcy, I say it’s time for #MeToo to evolve and move to those who saw something and said nothing.
Don’s “witch hunt” rhetoric echoes that of centuries past
When Don Burke labelled the voices against him a ‘witch hunt’, he was merely following a well-worn path that many have walked down before.
What a Burke: If everyone knew, why are we just hearing about it now?
Frankly, I am shocked to hear the allegations against Don Burke. It doesn’t seem like something he’d do, which may be the problem. Why did it take so long to come out?
Why we should still love the art of those we now loathe
Our reaction to those responsible for sexual abuses in Hollywood has been admirable, but misguided. We should still enjoy art for art’s sake.

Good moleman to you. Overnight we saw the rise of the political millennial in Austria, Hillary Clinton absolutely destroy her ex, and the expulsion question shifted ever closer to Woody Allen’s doorstep.
Current Affairs Wrap: Harvey secures his legacy, Skydiving accident claims three, Tim Cahill’s questionable gesture
Another week, another questionable set of choices. This week Harvey Weinstein became a verb, friends became past tense, and Tim Cahill (almost) became a a pariah. Almost.
To catch a Weinstein, one must seemingly crucify irrelevant antagonists
The more we know about Harvey Weinstein, the more we forget the issue at hand. With the conversation now about those who failed to pan him immediately, let’s not lose our context.
While you were asleep: Lohan defends Weinstein, Vlad’s relationship gets serious, Kramer goes to college
While you were resting those peepers, Lindsay Lohan looked to revive her career, Vladimir Putin stepped ever closer to the big day, and one college student chose lame 90’s nostalgia over everything else.
Weinstein’s company: What becomes of those who kept it quiet?
With the crimes of Harvey Weinstein becoming clear, I say it’s time we address the entirety of the iceberg, not just the tip.
While you were asleep: Grandpa Tim bails out Socceroos, Seth Rogen goes missing, Trump’s moronic crusade continues
Ugh, my head. While you weren’t present, Tim Cahill revealed our footballing entitlement, Seth Rogen’s mum hunted him on Twitter, and Donald Trump still can’t let the moron thing go. A rose by any other name, right?
While you were asleep: Trump holds moronic grudge, Weinstein scrubbed from history, Rick & Morty fans throw tanty
There’s a theme that links all these pieces together. See if you can spot it. Donald Trump continues to stew over the ‘moron’ comment, Harvey Weinstein was terminated and Rick & Morty fans acted their age.
