Add to this the revival of Marxist ideology which is destroying the family unit by attempting to cleanse language of definitive words like “father” and “mother” while morally bankrupting great powers like the US, UK and France.

Even the lesser powers such as those in the European Union (and even Australia), are cowering behind the sacrificial altar of Ukraine, hoping like hell the Ukrainian cannon fodder will stem the tide of madman Putin’s imperialism.

CRISIS

The list goes on and on: civilisation as we know it, is in crisis.

Our leaders are impotent, but worse still, unwilling to stand up for our Western Civilisation that has erased past abominations such as throwing Christians to the lions, burning witches, slavery, feudalism, the divine right of Kings, despotism, genocide by monsters such as Stalin and Hitler and racism to boot.

Yes racism: isolated instances of subjecting people to abuse on the basis of colour are just that.

To taint society as a whole as racist because of individual malfeasance, is the equivalent of labelling the whole community as criminals, just because a small minority commit crimes.

The saga of the Higgins alleged rape fiasco is a vivid illustration of our leaders’ lack of backbone in standing up for a foundational pillar of our civilisation, without which it would disintegrate into chaos and self-destruction: that pillar is criminal law.

The first of our leaders to fall short in upholding the major tenet of our criminal law, was then Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

Brittany Higgins, a parliamentary staffer made allegations of sexual assault by a male staffer with whom in a drunken state, she had entered Parliament after hours.

Her complaint was delivered in a media orchestrated presentation, before a prosecution was launched against the alleged offender.

Struggling to fend off attacks on the Liberal Party’s perceived problem with women, Morrison made a public apology to Ms Higgins, before a prosecution was instituted, inferentially acknowledging that her complaint was genuine.

Mr Morrison’s apology was not only unsolicited and biased, but appallingly demonstrative of a fundamental ignorance of the central framework of our criminal law, that has been passed down to us from Roman times via the laws of England viz the presumption of innocence.

CREDIBLE

In short, the presumption ensures that no person can be regarded as being guilty of a crime until a court of law has found the case against him/her, proved on credible evidence beyond reasonable doubt.

The next leader to let us down in upholding the values of our society cannot plead ignorance of the law.
ACT Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold announced the discontinuance of the Higgins prosecution.

From what had already been disclosed to the public, many expected to hear that the prosecution would not proceed, because of lack of insufficient credible evidence, as the police had advised.

The expectation was not fulfilled. DPP Drumgold’s stated reason for discontinuing the trial, was the danger to Miss Higgin’s health as attested to by medical experts.

In the circumstances where guilt was strenuously denied and the complainant had brazenly publicised her case in the media before the trial had commenced, one could reasonably expect the prosecutor not to indulge in public statements blatantly favouring one side or the other, but Mr Drumgold did exactly that.

The DPP praised Miss Higgins for her courage, “bravery, grace and dignity”, not once referring to the accused who had disclosed to the police he contemplated suicide, when he was told he was to be prosecuted for sexual assault.
