CHRISTIAN PORTER
An investigation into allegations is overdue
Christian Porter may indeed be innocent of the rape allegation as he claims (The Age, 4/3). But his public statement contains some alarming misdirection. In no reasonably governed organisation in Australia would the accused’s denial alone be considered satisfactory. Well may he decry losing his position over “nothing more than an accusation” – neither should a predator escape accountability for want of a serious investigation of evidence.

MICHAEL McCORMACK
Farmers, more than most, need to be future focused
It is truly shocking that Michael McCormack, Nationals leader and deputy PM, said â. Iâm certainly not worried about what might happen in 30 yearsâ timeâ with respect to setting a climate target (âNationals back farmers over climate stanceâ, 8/2). Farmers, those whom he is trying to protect now, will certainly be worried about what might happen to their land and their livelihoods in a short 30 years time.
