The sex scandal rocking Australia’s government has worsened, after a parliament insider leaked to the media graphic imagery of staffers performing sex acts in the building, which they apparently filmed and shared among themselves.
The explosive expose was made by a whistleblower, going by the alias ‘Tom’, to Australia’s 10 News on Sunday. The man provided the channel with what he claims are multiple photos and videos of male senior government staff engaging in sex acts at their workplace.
“Now is the time to speak up, now is the time to put it on the record. It is a culture of men thinking that they can do whatever they want,” Tom told the channel, calling for “the removal of this toxic, powerful, privileged boys club that does what it wants, when it wants, where it wants.”
Hmmm. I suspect 'Tom' may not be a male!
The published, heavily blurred imagery includes a photo of man exposing his genitals with a copy of the Parliament House rule book seen in the background. Another video shows a man pointing to the desk of a female Liberal MP and then indulging in a solo sex act on top of it.
“The fact that it is a female MP only adds to the disgrace that it is,” Tom stated.
Some of the videos – reportedly proudly filmed and exchanged by the staffers themselves – were said to be too graphic to publish even in a blurred form. The whistleblower said he has received so many explicit pictures from fellow staffers that he ultimately become “immune to it.”
The Parliament House meditation and prayer room is the hot spot for sex in the building, seeing “a lot” of action according to Tom, who confirmed that he used the room for that purpose as well. The whistleblower claimed that both male and female sex workers have been brought into the building on multiple occasions “for the pleasure of coalition MPs.”
I can probably say there is very little meditation or prayer going on in that room.
Tom’s revelations have triggered a meltdown among Australia’s top officials, with many calling to identify and fire the sex-crazed staffers. The rowdy behavior showed an “enormous disrespect” on the part of the staffers towards the whole legislature, Finance Minister Simon Birmingham said shortly after the expose was aired.
I am disgusted and appalled... It shows a complete disregard for all that our parliamentary democracy stands for.
“It equally shows a complete contempt, frankly, for Australian taxpayers who pay the wages of such staff. In my opinion, any individuals who engaged in such activity ought to prepare to pack their bags and leave the building for good,” the minister added.
The leak has already caused the downfall of one staffer, who was identified and fired after allegedly pleasuring himself on the desk of the aforementioned female MP, multiple Australian outlets reported on Monday.
Later in the day, the sacking of the mischievous staffer was confirmed by PM Scott Morrison, who said the government had “terminated his employment immediately.”
“The reports aired tonight are disgusting and sickening,” Morrison said in a statement. “It’s not good enough, and is totally unacceptable. The people who come to work in this building are better than this.”
Some, however, tried to somewhat downplay the extent of the fresh scandal. A spokesperson for the speaker of the House of Representatives, Tony Smith, and President of the Senate Scott Ryan, said the top officials “were not aware of the incidents or allegations until they aired on Channel Ten.”
“MPs and Senators employ their own staff,” the statement reads. “If the Presiding Officers are informed of the identities of the staff members, they are of course prepared to take action within the context of their responsibilities.”
Another porn giant faces class action lawsuit for hosting
child sex trafficking videos

Another leading online pornography company is facing the possibility of a class action lawsuit alleging that it profits from child sexual abuse material and sex trafficking.
Filed in the U.S. District Court for Central California, the complaint seeking class action status was filed against XVideos and its parent company, WebGroup Czech Republic, on behalf of a victim identified only as Jane Doe.
The lawsuit was filed by the National Center for Sexual Exploitation in consultation with five other survivor-focused and commercial litigation law firms. The court filing contends that Doe is a victim and survivor of childhood sex trafficking featured in videos of childhood sexual abuse sold, published and distributed on websites owned and operated by XVideos.
“Neither XVideos, nor any other website, owned or operated by WGCZ Defendants undertook any measure to verify Jane Doe’s identity or age,” the lawsuit argues. “As a result, child sex abuse material (‘CSAM’) depicting Jane Doe was distributed broadly throughout the world on Defendants’ internet websites.”
The lawsuit also claims that the company commercially monetized the images, violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.
“XVideos not only violated the law by hosting Jane Doe’s child sexual abuse material, it profited from her abuse given that each image and video of her was monetized,” NCOSE Senior Legal Counsel Dani Pinter said in a statement. “This cannot be allowed to stand and remain unchallenged. Victims of childhood sexual abuse such as Jane Doe unequivocally deserve justice.”
The lawsuit says the name Doe extends to represent a class of numerous victims who, as children, had their child sexual abuse images published and monetized by XVideos. The website boasts 200 million daily visitors and 6 billion daily impressions on various websites.
The court filing states that Doe was trafficked when she was just 14 and was forced by a sex trafficker to “participate in the creation of videos of adults engaging in sex acts with her.”
“As a minor, Jane Doe’s traffickers also sold her for sex and some of the sex acts forced upon Jane Doe were recorded on video and uploaded to the XVideos website,” the lawsuit details, noting that she was not paid for her participation in the videos.
“Videos of adults engaging in sex acts with Jane Doe while she was a minor were uploaded and disseminated through websites owned, operated and/or controlled by Defendants, including, but not limited to XVideos,” the filing adds. “Videos of these sex acts with the minor Jane Doe continued to turn profits as they were reviewed, downloaded, stored, and disseminated.”
The complaint argues that XVideos “profited financially from the videos through the sale of advertising and by drawing users to their websites to view the videos.”
“Jane Doe knows that her videos have been downloaded, using the easy-to-find ‘Download’ button that WGCZ placed on its websites,” the complaint reads.
The lawsuit contends that XVideos not only “benefited from a sex trafficking venture” and distributed child pornography but also failed to report child sexual abuse material.
The Christian Post reached out to XVideos for comment on the complaint. A response is pending.
Pinter praised Doe as courageous for sharing her story “to help other victims of XVideos.”
“We stand ready to help others who have experienced similar abuse at the hands of XVideos or any other WGCZ entities,” Pinter stated. “It is time to end this pornography company’s abuses and egregious violations of the law.”
The lawsuit comes as MindGeek, the parent company of several major porn websites, including Pornhub, is under investigation and facing its own lawsuits filed on behalf of child sex abuse survivors.
Last month, two unnamed plaintiffs accused Pornhub of hosting and profiting off videos of their abuse uploaded to the popular pornography website. They filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.
“Sex traffickers and the Defendants worked together to earn a profit from commercial sex acts and child pornography involving the Plaintiffs and Class members,” states the complaint. “MindGeek’s platform traditionally made it easy for traffickers, rapists, or would-be criminals to go undetected as account holders or managers who would control and recover any associated compensation.”
In December, 40 women sued Pornhub. They claim that the company profited from their exploitation as victims of sex trafficking.
Last week, more than 70 Canadian lawmakers called for MindGeek to be investigated by police amid the mounting allegations that the company profited from the sexual exploitation of children.
Canadian Parliament members from all eight political parties wrote a letter to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police supporting the requests of 104 survivors and 525 non-governmental organizations from across the globe who have called for a criminal investigation into the Canada-based Pornhub, one of the largest porn sites in the world.
I will be surprised if the RCMP actually investigates PornHub. I will be amazed if they do and then charge PornHub with anything other than a very minor offence. Firstly, The Canadian Gov't and media are all far-left and godless. Secondly, prosecuting a major company in Montreal has proven to be a career-ending experience for at least two cabinet ministers. Montreal is Justin Trudeau's home town.
Baker who declined service to gay couple sued for refusing to make
‘gender transition’ cake
23 Mar, 2021 10:55
A Colorado baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple on religious grounds is once again back in court, this time for turning away a transgender woman.
Jack Phillips made national headlines after winning a partial victory in the US Supreme Court in 2018, following a years-long legal battle over his decision to refuse service to the gay couple, who’d wanted a cake for their wedding reception. But now the baker has found himself at the center of another lawsuit, this one brought by Autumn Scardina, a transgender woman.
Scardina tried to order a birthday cake from Phillips in 2017, requesting that it be blue on the outside and pink on the inside to commemorate her gender transition. The order was made on the same day that the Supreme Court announced that it would hear Phillips’ appeal in the gay wedding cake case. She claimed during a virtual court hearing on Monday that she wanted to see if Phillips was being sincere when he argued that he opposed making the gay couple’s cake because it involved a religious ceremony, but that he was open to selling any other type of product.
She insisted that the order was not a “setup,” describing it more as “calling someone’s bluff.”
Phillips’ lawyer, Sean Gates, told the Denver court that his client’s refusal to bake the cake for Scardina was because he didn’t approve of its message and that he wasn’t discriminating against the transgender woman. He noted that Phillips has been subject to years of media attention over the gay wedding cake case and that his client could not in good conscience create a cake that relayed a message that he took issue with.
“The message would be that he agrees that a gender transition is something to be celebrated,” Gates said, noting that Phillips objected to making products with other messages that he didn’t approve of, including Halloween-themed cakes.
Scardina sought legal action against Phillips after filing a complaint with the state and the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. In March 2019, the complaint was dropped, as was a counter-suit filed by Phillips, as part of a settlement. But under the agreement, Scardina was allowed to pursue legal action on her own.
Although his views remain highly controversial, Phillips has seen some success in the courts. In the gay wedding cake case, the Supreme Court ruled that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission was guilty of anti-religious bias when it sanctioned the baker for refusing to make the cake for the gay wedding ceremony. However, the court did not weigh in on whether businesses can cite religious objections for refusing service to members of LGBT people.
