Brittany Higgins
@BrittHiggins_
I’ve just received a concerns notice from @lindareynoldswa
threatening defamation over an Instagram story.

I’m considering my legal options.

@MFWitches
Australia’s defamation laws are not fit for purpose.

They’re now used by the powerful purely to silence the less-powerful: particularly women, people of colour and the poor.

And for the record, Linda Reynolds is a piece of shit.

After apologising for “the hurt and distress” caused by her ‘lying cow’ comments, Linda Reynolds is now threatening Brittany Higgins with new legal action proving she doesn’t give a fuck about hurt and distress.

someone asked me earlier today on Twitter why "I seem biased against Elon Musk" or some such thing. I don't think ppl use the term "bias" properly in online discussions, but here is an excellent example -- it's bc I watch him bully ppl constantly with the legal process.
