The Briefing Headlines Sept 2

The legal trap silencing #MeToo victims

Wednesday Headlines: 
Second missing Australian found after Nepal flood
US launches fresh strikes on Iran 
Australia pledges $600 million to tackle drug smuggling in the Pacific
Hanson demands apology as political violence war of words escalates
NSW to make drug testing at music festivals permanent

Deep Dive: Nearly a decade after #MeToo exposed systemic sexual misconduct and sparked global reform, a powerful legal backlash is threatening survivors who dare to speak out.  

Behind closed doors, the legal system is increasingly being used to muzzle victims, leaving the true extent of this intimidation hidden from the public.  

In this episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt is joined by international human rights lawyer and advocate Jennifer Robinson to discuss her new documentary, Silenced, and how defamation laws are being weaponised against victims.
