Please click on this link and sign the petition standing against the comments John Laws from radio 2SM made to a survivor of Child hood sexual abuse.

Here is the excerpt I received from Get Up. 
Trigger Warning: Sexual abuse, victim blaming, assault, childhood abuse, rape

Dear Margaret,

Talkback radio misogyny reached new lows late last week when 2SM radio host John Laws asked a caller whether the sexual abuse she’d suffered throughout her childhood was “her fault”. He even went so far as questioning whether she was "provocative" at the tender age of six. No child "provokes" sexual abuse.

John Laws' comments are absolutely reprehensible and - despite a fierce eruption of anger on blogs and social media - his "apology" was far from adequate. Instead, he was back on air on Friday telling those complaining to “go to hell.” He even again suggested it was the victim’s fault “if she allowed it to happen”.

We can't allow incidences like this to continue. In this case, John Laws was dead wrong and unbelievably insensitive. If we let him and the 2SM station managers and owners continue without addressing the serious nature of this kind of talk we're sending a message to all Australians that victim blaming and shaming is OK in this country.


As we already know the perpetrator is 100% responsible and holds all the power in the situation.
So please please stand by us survivors and help fight the destructive ignorance of people like John Laws.
