I couldn’t bear to watch Linda Reynolds trying to paint herself a victim on #abc730 last night but assume she wasn’t asked how she has the nerve to claim she was protecting Brittany after calling her a lying cow or why she leaked classified info on Brittany to the Murdoch Press?

Bruce Lehrmann’s big lie
Bruce Lehrmann is a liar. For years now, he has lied about the night he raped Brittany Higgins. He has made a small industry from this lie. He has sold it to television networks, in exchange for cocaine and sex. He has laundered it in the Murdoch press, where he has been invited to mock his victim and her husband.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.
