Democrats support sexual assault

Posted on by

REALITY TV show Big Brother should be left alone by meddling politicians, Australian Democrats senator Andrew Bartlett said today.

“It is politicians trying to be Big Brother that we really need to be concerned about,” Senator Bartlett said.

No, I disagree Senator. It’s Senators standing up for trash TV and possible sexual assault that we need to be concerned about.

The program has been heavily criticised by politicians and family groups after two contestants were removed from the program after allegedly sexually assaulting a female contestant.

PM Howard says axe the programme.

“The business community is always saying to me ‘let us self-regulate’.

“Well here’s a great opportunity for Channel 10 to do a bit of self-regulation and get this stupid program off the air.”

Channel Ten, of course, will base all decisions re Big Brother on their accountants advise…..it’s a winner…people like trash TV and “this alleged sexual assault should be seen as nothing more than free advertising”.

Self regulation…won’t happen but I’m with the PM on this.

    I think it will get axed, but not because Channel 10 wants to, it will be because they are so wide open to a civil action from this young woman as to be suicidal to continue the program.

    They put the two guys in the locked house with her, they not only watched the assault take place live (and were in a position to stop it)- they broadcast it via the net.

    Any lawyer who has a basic understanding of ‘duty of care’ would win big bucks for her in a heartbeat.
