Glenda Slagg The current Australian edition of Marie Claire has on it's front cover a picture of an abuse survivor Grace Tame much loved by the local media (there was a court case & her abuser was jailed) . In an earlier previous issue it proclaimed that she was Woman Of The Year..giving speeches etc.

Cosying up to her on that front cover is another woman who has alleged she was raped by a political staffer (conservative) in Canberra's Parliament House as the magazine proclaims them joint "Women of The Year".

A man has been charged and the alleged rape case is currently before the courts and will be heard next year.

It's simply unbelievable. the highly prejudicial cover is quite astonishing I believe.

This is a front cover is basically giving an imprimatur of honesty to the allegations before they are heard in a court.

#Glenda couldn't possibly know the truth of the allegations but I can see harmful prejudice when it's so blatant.

There will be ramifications..

## all involved are conservatives and once again poor old hedda Glenda is having to defend a Tory.
