Dear Vanessa, thank you for telling yours and Craig's story. I miss not seeing Craig in the Dr Blake series. I hope you are both well and happy. Wishing you many good things for the future.
They should sue this false accuser Christie Whelan, who was not raped, she behaved slutty on the set, they have witnesses, she was going after him, rubbing herself against him, sitting on his lap in her underwear, putting fingers in his ass. They have witnesses. They both were inappropriate with each other equally. She decided to sue the company for $2 million, could not sue him, because he was found Not guilty, still decided to get the millions and sued the company instead and got paid. After Not guilty verdict. Obviously, she needs to be sued for sexual harassment ( she was putting fingers in his butt, used vulgar language while sitting almost naked on his lap behind the scenes). She needs to be sued for deformation and damages.
This woman has my utmost respect. She knew the truth, stayed true to the man she so clearly but not blindly loved and did not bow to the bullies who perpetrate vindictiveness to mask their lack of talent and confidence. I do not know you madam but i respect you with every fibre of my being.
@@buildmotosykletist1987 Craig admitted that that happened but the magistrate ruled it not a crime He also called a girl little slit referring to her vulva The magistrate found he had committed all those acts and the witnesses were described as brave and honest
@@buildmotosykletist1987 read the results of the trial He did worse than that.Ran his finger around her vulva while she was performing ,so she couldn't say anything
How fortunate is Craig to have this wonderfully articulate and strong, courageous woman by his side. I wish both of them nothing but the best in their future lives.
I've gone down the rabbit hole on this war on men. Jarred Hyne, Geoffrey Rush and others. I have been wrongly accused by a neighbour of just looking at her over the fence and I know how that felt. I was also taking photos of my grandkids at a party for 3 year olds and the look i got from other parents there was like being stabbed. I can't imagine how Craig McLaughlin feels after this in such a public way. Thank you for your bravery in telling your story.
Vanessa is such a strong, articulate, and intelligent woman. Bravo to her for showing such loyalty and standing up for what is right. This should be on mainstream media, but it doesn’t fit their narrative.

yes to the Rocky Horror show but what about the later ones? how come 11 more women came forward. There has been no response anywhere that i can find to those accusations. Only Craig pulling out of his own deformation case. I would like to know if any of those are true. are just part of the me too epidemic.
The accuser Christie Whelan needs to be taken to court. Obvious, she was after the money only. Ms Whelan Brown alleged Oldfield Entertainment had failed to protect her from repeated sexual harassment by Mr McLachlan. In Federal Court documents sighted by The Saturday Telegraph, Oldfield Entertainment had claimed Ms Whelan Browne used sexual humour to shock cast members and was a “willing participant” in sexual innuendo on the set. The documents claimed she tried to break “female stereotypes”, used offensive language such as the C-word, and instigated physical contact with fellow star Craig McLachlan, including pulling down his pants.
Women like this are the heroes of our time. History will remember them as courageous, strong, dignified and with moral integrity. Most of all, they have proven to actually be the best a woman can be - fierce as a lioness against the forces of evil and loving their husbands to the extent that they would put their lives at risk for them - nothing a husband would not have done for her. Thank you for reminding me that decent women such as this exist.
How articulate. We live in a world where dangerous commentary can be made without any proof. It is so sad. There is nothing that I can say that will give you back what has been lost. Thank you for sharing your experiences, very brave.
In Germany, during the heigh day of the MeToo movement, there were demands from prominent feminists to reverse the burden of proof in cases of alleged sexual offences. Not only were these feminists given a platform by mainstream media to call for such an abrogation of a fundamental principle of law, but there was shockingly little pushback from media, politicians and intellectuals. When I defended the presumption of innocence in a discussion among friends, I was told that this was a typical patriarchal view to facilitate sexual opression of women... I am still speechless...
Not just in Germany, my friend, but all over the world. Here in Melbourne, Australia, back in the early nineties, there was a lawyer who killed his wife because she couldn't stand him any more (admittedly he sounded like a right rotter) and flaunted the fact that she had taken a lover. He got convicted of manslaughter rather than murder due to "provocation" still being a doctrine under the law. 8 years, not 20. Feminist outcry lead to provocation no longer being a defense. A couple of years ago, a woman in Sydney stabbed her boyfriend several times because he wouldn't give her as much money as she wanted, coercive control by financial abuse I guess she called it. Feminist advocacy groups started shouting for provocation to be a thing.........but only for women. Thankfully, they have not, to my knowledge, been successful.
@@lisamay3316have you thought about the consequences of reversing the burden of proof? should this be extended to other areas of law? Also, you’re implying that those cases that “go unpunished” were not false accusations. How do you know? Something to consider: cases of female domestic violence almost never get reported - should we, applying your line of thought, accuse all women of being domestic offenders unless they can prove the opposite? Honestly, would you want to live in a society, where the presumption of innocence is not established? Good luck…!
One of the most powerful things I learned in my Honours year (way back in the day) was my professor saying: "If it's true." He was am old classicist and believed in evidence before belief. That phrase had saved me so many times.
I am an Australian and recently returned from 20 years in uk. I worked as a palliative care specialist social worker. A patient made a false accusation about me. I was suspended from the hospice and suffered . I became so angry I consulted an employment lawyer. I instructed him to commence defamation action. In summary many people judged me as an arsehole for causing a dying patient more pain. My lawyer also lodged a claim in the Employment Tribunal but we did not win constructive dismissal. I was summoned to my registration body and the patient died during proceedings. They had to drop the charges but admonished me on record. I would do the same legal response to this bitter old man
I personally knew a young lady who worked on his shows and other TV shows behind the scenes attending to actors needs etc, I asked her about this and she said it was a load of crap!
Dearest Vanessa, your story and Craig's story deserves to be told and heard and I thankyou so much for delivering such a powerful speech, telling of yours and Craig's experience. Craig continues to be one of my very favourite Australian actors and I was absolutely gutted upon hearing of these allegations against him. Certainly this would have produced some serious CPTS in both of you. I pray that both of you are continuing to heal from this and that you are finding joy in your daily activities. We love you Craig from Neighbours to Dr Blake and everything in between. The truth will always set you free!
I'm glad I stumbled on this. I hadn't heard this side of the story. Good point that the accusation makes a better story than exoneration. Hope Craig is able to recover from this.
I agree, I have never had the opportunity to hear this side. Personally, I never believed the rubbish that was presented and I'm so glad that this has been made available for the general public. I will verbally promote this to who ever wants to listen. Well done.
Thank you so much for telling THE TRUTH Vanessa. I’m so sorry you’ve both had to endure this nightmare of lies and injustice. Thank you for being courageous and fighting for the truth.
One of the issues is that the Barristers, Magistrates and Judges really do think they are above us, and that they possess higher intellect and more rights than the "ordinary citizen" ! Their collective arrogance and false sense of superiority is absolutely eye watering!
Very true words. i lived in a student house with 2 law students, while i was studying physics. These guys hardly did any contact hours just spent a couple of hours a day listening to the lecture tapes from home. Their course seemed like a joke to me studying physics. The thing is however they and their friends had such an inflated opinion of themselves, and as you accurately described an “eye-watering” sense of superiority that i was speechless. According to them,no one but lawyers are true professionals because only they are required to say ‘an oath of admission’, .
You know when, in a society, certain people are referred to as: Your Highness (being "Higher" than you) Your Honour (being more "Honourable" than you) Your Worship (being someone you must "Worship") It is a sign of narcissism ..........
Such a beautiful, articulate, passionate, yet gentle woman. It's crazy that false allegations are made against innocent people, when out in the community we have murders weekly from domestic violence and sexual harassment from many people in positions of power and who are just sociopaths. Very brave of you to stand up for what's right Vanessa and so eloquently express what you, your family, Craig's family and TRUE friends have suffered.
Look at what happened to Geoffrey Rush, one of the world's very best actors, they tried to destroy him! He won in court but sadly he seems to have given up on his brilliant career. Not even seen in public these days?
I sat next to Rush on a flight from LA-SY, first class of course. I asked him his opinion on many of the important problems that were in play circa 1991 and to my surprise he was ignorant and basically clueless on every topic I brought up. These people live in a bubble of their own ignorance.
@boeingdriver29 or perhaps he has many private opinions that he doesn't wish to share because he might be of the school where he wants the roles he performs to remain unfettered by such topics you opine. It is all too easy these days for the public to become disenfranchised by those whom don't share their views. Also it is common for the press (and many people in general) to paraphrase and thus radically change the context of what was said.
After watching this clip I am disgusted with everyone involved in the process of destroying Craig's career and harming the people around him. I watched the Dr Blake series and never believed he was capable of any of the accusations against him. What a sad world we live in. All my best wishes are with you both.
Exactly the same scenario perpetrated by Media types on the Army Unit I served with in Afghanistan, put through a inquiry with no legal rights or due process. 8 years later many are still waiting for their day in Court, meanwhile families have been destroyed.
What a wonderful partner to have . Very smart lady & has the utmost integrity. If only we have such persons with in our courts & constabulary & DPP office with honesty!!!
@@robmarshall956 do you want directions on how to use google He snogged one girl and told her he loved her...not a crime He called another little slit,referring to her vulva,and ran his finger around her vulva whilst they were in bed.She was performing so definitely did not give permission The magistrate stated that his sense of entitlement meant that he thought he had permission This he was let off.She said he was innocent by law but did commit the offenses The magistrate stated that he was an unreliable be witness and the girls were brave and truthful If you want more info ..google it .but I suppose ignorance is bliss and gossip is fun
I watched this unfold with heartache and disbelief! As someone who went to school with Craig. I remember him in the S’cool a production The Entrance high created setting the course Craig would follow. It’s sad what has happened, tall poppy, professional envy, financial gain for those making the accusations. Falsely smearing someone as a sexual predator is something that stays with them for the rest of their days! It’s just evil!
I remember seeing the hidden camera interview where the ABC journalist kept feeding words to an accuser and embellishing what she said while taking notes
I never believed her accusation, absolutely appalling that she destroyed him and his career and put Craig and his family under such stress. This has got to stop!
I’ve loved Craig McLachlan since he played Henry on Neighbours. Never believed the allegations. He’s so lucky to have you talking for him. So unfair! 😢
What a beautiful and eloquent woman. I was incredulous when all the false allegations were accepted by so many as being the truth, without any proper due process or empathy or understanding. I think some women have a lot to answer for. Just because a woman says something happened, does not mean it actually did. Women can lie really well and be extremely manipulative. So sorry this happened to Craig.
It's hard to keep to time on such subjects particularly when it a subject such as this, but in fairness all the speakers had time limits including Bettina, the whole conference was 7hrs long. The full video is on this channel under live stream
Imagine organising to have someone speak at an event to tell their side of events, a side of the story that has been ignored and unreported and then as the organiser you tell her to finish quickly and she then has to skip parts of what she wanted to say 🤯.
It's hard to keep to time on such subjects particulaly when it a subject such as this, but in fairness all the speakers had time limits including Bettina, the whole conference was 7hrs long. The full video is on the presumption of innocence youtube channel.
That requires you to have endless resources, time and emotional super strength. A mate of mine very wisely said to me when I was considering litigation against a company that had viciously wronged me, "can you afford to lose your house, business, means of income, your family and everything else you hold as precious". "There's no guarantee you win and every possibility you lose ............. be patient and wait until you have fulfilled your requirements to your family & children. You can then exact revenge when the adversary has all but forgotten and least expects it" Although it was 30 years ago, I'm incredibly patient. I drive past their business everyday ........ one day I'll stop.
If you listen Vanessa and Craig were suing for defamation but when the judge ruled they could not admit into evidence his aquittall on all charges, what was the point!! of continuing a losing battle against media organzations with deep insurance pockets!!!
@johnwitte551 Well, putting your critical thinking aside and using your emotional intelligence ( I.e. reading between the lines), my comment is, in its essence, a show of support for Craig and Vanessa. I'm no lawyer, nor have I ever sued or been sued, I don't pretend to know what is involved, but it does seem a big injustice has been dealt to Craig , what other recourse to justice would you suggest ? !!!!! !!!!! !! ( see that. ... I saw your 5 exclamation marks and raised you 2 )
MeToo just attacked a friend of mine……she got her resignation package and a large settlement equal to estimated legal fees And shown the front door!……..my friend lost his job until she had left the building…. Karma is waiting for her….
Why is it that the supposed perpetrators are from the outset ALWAYS identified but the accusers hide in the shadows and for the most part anonymous. So protecting the accusers is paramount but the accused is fair game. This dichotomy needs to shift.
I too have been taken to to court with false allegations, it crushed me for over a year. No evidence required. My accuser played victim yet I was truly hurt! EVIDENCE! PLEASE WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE!
Well done Vanessa. Thank you for speaking the truth. I agree that there is never any place for bullying, harassment or sexual assault but to falsely accuse someone of something so terrible is a horrendous thing to do. They should be named & made to pay court damages to Craig. I wish you & Craig all the very best. ❤❤❤
Thank you Vanessa, so articulate. Craig’s dedication and hard work make it even more heartbreaking to see everything taken away so unfairly. These woman tore him apart and the media scrutinized him even further They definitely wanted their moment in the spotlight. The fact that it went to trial is truly perplexing and frustrating. These woman ruined someone's livelihood with no CONSEQUENCES to them, so unjust and disheartening.
Vanessa, my heart aches for both you and Craig (in nothing but a caring manner I might add just to be clear). What a destructive rollercoaster and failure of natural justice this sordid story tells. I am just so glad that you were there for Craig. Being accused and then exonerated does not make it any better. The damage is deep, physically, mentally and financially. Vexatious accusers need to face justice but they never do. The Aussie larrikin is fast facing extinction. We cannot joke about anything these days or be a bit out there. It is fast becoming a sad world that we live in.
I never believed he was guilty and am appalled that his career has been destroyed yet those who were guilty of making false statements against him have walked away with zero consequences.
This comment and anyone who likes it is daft. Obviously we don't hear about those instances as they are not news worthy. It's the celebrity factor that makes these cases of public interest.
Christie Whelan actress who accused him falsely in order to get millions because she was over 40 and broke. She and her husband bought a house they could not afford, not much work. Quick money was her determination, she got millions in compensation. She could not get it from Craig, because of the not guilty verdict, she was so determined to get the money, she sued the company and finally got it. Everyone knows what happened. She was provoking him on the set, pulling his pants, joked in a sexual manner. She joked back in a similar way, playful joking on a set. She used this in court to accuse him. She was not going to stop, was after the money.
Christie Whelan was sitting on his lap in her underwear between the sets, they had witnesses, she was first provoking joking in a sexual manner, pulling his pants, joking around the way they always do behind the scenes. She was over 30, old enough to stop his advances if happened, he was a hired actor, he was not a director. They both were hired actors, she could stop him joking or making him uncomfortable right there. Or complain to the producers of the show, company straight away, obviously he would stop making her uncomfortable, if he was doing it. She sued the company to get compensation ( she was after 2 million ), this is what’s ridiculous. She got her compensation. They settled the case already. He should take her to court as well for sexual harassment, she was pulling his pants and sitting / rubbing herself against him in her underwear. Disgusting behaviour. Obviously she could not sue him because of the Not guilty verdict, she decided to sue a company. It’s to get quick money, obviously.
@@МаринаСигунова-л3гthe magistrate found that he had committed those acts and stated the the accusers were brave and honest ,but it was judged on the old legislation
Come back Craig ! You could do a Dr Blake Christmas special investigating the murdering of your career by others unspecified, played by big human sized carrots C1, C2 and C3. ( in the vein of giant bananas B1 and B2). Absurd but true enough and funny. Hey maybe comedy / tragedy could be your thing now. Play the part dryly, no smiling whatsoever . The comedy will speak for itself. Came back to edit....the carrots would by necessity need to be a horrible unhealthy pasty orange color , as we all know the lovely bright orange indicates the presence of carotene which is good for the eyesight , (all as I understand it). These "carrots" C1 C2 and C3 were all clearly lacking in any good objective vision whatsoever. Maybe they all should wear thick lensed glasses and be maybe a little opaque also indicating obscured vision from cataracts.💪 Stay strong.
Thank you for bringing all this to our attention . I was confused when I first heard of the allegations & found them hard to believe but tried to keep an open mind on both sides. I’m sickened by C1 C2 & C 3 no guess as what I may think C stands for. I wish you had not been cut short I wanted to hear everything you had to say . Love & best wishes to you Craig . I hold out huge hopes for karma for all in these situations it’s amazing what shit people twist & the why isn’t always obvious
I’m usually one who says, we must believe the victim. However from the first time I heard about this, without knowing anyone involved personally, I knew it was bullshit. These people who make these accusations are a disgrace and make it harder for actual victims to be heard.
Craig admitted most of what he was accused of,and the magistrate let him go because of the old legislation.The magistrate said he had an sense of entitlement that allowed him to think that he had permission She also said the accusers were credible. Calling one of the accusers little slit (referring to her vulva) is not acceptable behaviour One of the males in the cast stated that he was bullied by him Hes very lucky it wasn't judged on current legislation
I've been in the business my whole life. Craig is a nice guy but has always been very handsy and full on around women. I don't think he committed a crime but I think his personality might have been too much for some in light of metoo. Just sayin.
How is it possible that false accusations are not dealt with in a court of law and these liars are not held to account. And as for the media…… not a word out of them about the case being dropped. Disgusting. Well done and thank you for speaking out ❤️
Dear Vanessa, what a truly extraordinary, articulate and elegant speech. Utterly and completely compelling. The distress, pain and hurt, ie trauma, behind that story is palpable. It has taken years, and I can only imagine, continues for you both. Court battles can cause untold trauma, even where 'the accused', has done what they are accused of. It is however unthinkable what it must be like to endure that process where the person, 'the accused', is indeed innocent, and as you so elegantly detailed, taken entirely out of the patently relevant context of where such alleged incidents occurred. As a lawyer myself i feel tremendous shame about the handling of this matter from so many perspectives you have articulated, and although i am only one of them, I sincerely apologise. The law makers, ie politicians, of which I am not one, need also to apologise in continuing to afford vastly different standards of 'privacy and protections' to only one side of the fence.
Please know many of us always believed the accusations weren't true, I believed Craig wasn't that person. I have missed Doctor Blake too, absolutely loved it. Send mine and all those who believe in Craig, mine/our love, and ihope to see his smile again ❤️
A terrible tale very well told. It is horrifying to see how easy it was for lies to be believed. This is a cautionary tale of why we cannot ‘just believe the victim’. Human nature is not above deceit.
What a wonderful presentation.... Took a lot of guts and hit the mark... Congratulations on your courage and truthfulness... I always supported Craig from day 1... And I agree he was really badly treated
These accusations are more common than people might think. In the family court they are all too common, and if people think courts are about evidence and facts you’re in Lala land. The problem with these things is there are little to no consequences for lying or fully lying in affidavits. My ex wife tried this to get a leg over in our property and custody dispute. I won in court but only after spending over $100k, her ‘glowing attitude came through’ on the stand.
....and I thought the Family Court was bad....! But, its been my experience that in the big scheme of things, no-one gets away with lying, scheming behaviour. It may take years, but Karma eventually happens in one way or another. Thankyou for telling the public what really happened.
There were a few more, mainly actors being accused. And while I do tend to believe those accusations made against jennoside Joe, I don't think that unproven allegations against anyone should be taken seriously. Especially when those allegations could very well be of a political nature (Brett Kavanaugh was another victim of that). There's enough wrong with JB to dislike him outside of unproven allegations from decades ago conveniently come out at a politically opportune time.
@@crazymonkeyVII I just found it typical when Joe got accused and then the MeToo went quiet...I also found it ironic how the MSM went on about Trumps comment about grabbing them by the, haha, youtube censorship. And then Joe was accused of literally doing it...Wouldn't put it past the child sniffer.
Yes, very interesting that when Biden was accused the "believe all women" slogan seemed to disappear. And Tara Reade defected to Russia, to avoid being epsteined.
This cancel culture must end. The public make opinions based on a media's headline. These 3 woman destroyed this man for what?? I hope he heals and gets back to that awesome series. Much support
The only thing Craig did wrong in his life was doing stand up on the footy show😂 Craig is a true Aussie champion. These woman and the media who facilitated these lies need to be held accountable. The "me too " should be changed to the "what? not you too" movement.
I noticed the so-called liberal, caring 'Neighbours' show left McLachlan out of the final episode of the original series. They didn't ask him to appear. This shows what the 'right on' people of today are really like - bunch of knitters by the guillotine.
Just watched your clip Always have supported Craig…. Always will!!!!!! You are a rare find Nessa Your heart is beautiful and you are an inspiration Love to you both. Unconditional support from myself to you and Craig….
Equality now means we need our women to protect our men. Stand up for the men ladies, you now have the power you asked for and with great power comes great responsibility
Any correlation between the legal system and justice is purely coincidence. Those who are supposed to implement the law often prejudge the case then proceed on the basis of their prejudice. In my experience this applies to civil matters as well the one outlined.
My wife and I saw the Rocky horror show in Melbourne and enjoyed the show immensely, and I think I remember him in an afternoon tv series back in the mid '70's about a high school which I think he was in. I was horrified at the me too garbage, run by motivated by malice skanks. I hope you are well and can relate to your trauma first hand. Best wishes.
Fantastic to listen to. I must say we were one of the ones who didn’t believe c1/2/3. Same happened to a teacher at my children’s high school. These accusers should be held to account and face the full force of new laws that should be in place to protect the innocent ones accused. I would love to see a come back and cudos to anyone or team willing to give him a go. Loved him on SAS Australia. Best of luck to him and Vanessa
I work in this industry and followed this case closely. I'm shocked. How did none of this important information make it into reporting? How did the judge draw these damning conclusions- conclusions the DPP never suggested themselves? How did I swallow this hook line and sinker until now?
Dear Vanessa, thank you for telling yours and Craig's story. I miss not seeing Craig in the Dr Blake series. I hope you are both well and happy. Wishing you many good things for the future.
look at the ABCs ratings. go woke, go broke.

Exactly correct, false accusations seem to have np penalty at all.

Journalists should not be allowed to release anything without hard evidence, not hearsay and if they do they should face the court system.

Great comment man, needed to be said.
Thank you for publishing this. The media that villified him falsely should be forced to apologise and publish the full facts.

He got convicted of manslaughter rather than murder due to "provocation" still being a doctrine under the law. 8 years, not 20. Feminist outcry lead to provocation no longer being a defense.
A couple of years ago, a woman in Sydney stabbed her boyfriend several times because he wouldn't give her as much money as she wanted, coercive control by financial abuse I guess she called it. Feminist advocacy groups started shouting for provocation to be a thing.........but only for women. Thankfully, they have not, to my knowledge, been successful.
The problem is that, currently, nearly all instances of sexual assault go unpunished, and this is unacceptable
...which is why the birth rate and marriage rate in Germany is the lowest its' ever been.
@lisamay3316 are saying that you support the removal of the burden of proof because you state that many sexual assault allegations go unpunished?
@@lisamay3316have you thought about the consequences of reversing the burden of proof? should this be extended to other areas of law? Also, you’re implying that those cases that “go unpunished” were not false accusations. How do you know? Something to consider: cases of female domestic violence almost never get reported - should we, applying your line of thought, accuse all women of being domestic offenders unless they can prove the opposite? Honestly, would you want to live in a society, where the presumption of innocence is not established? Good luck…!
This is appalling. So sorry for what Craig and his loved ones have gone through. Judged innocent, yes but at what cost. So sorry.
One of the most powerful things I learned in my Honours year (way back in the day) was my professor saying: "If it's true."
He was am old classicist and believed in evidence before belief. That phrase had saved me so many times.
I am an Australian and recently returned from 20 years in uk. I worked as a palliative care specialist social worker.
A patient made a false accusation about me. I was suspended from the hospice and suffered . I became so angry I consulted an employment lawyer. I instructed him to commence defamation action.
In summary many people judged me as an arsehole for causing a dying patient more pain.
My lawyer also lodged a claim in the Employment Tribunal but we did not win constructive dismissal. I was summoned to my registration body and the patient died during proceedings. They had to drop the charges but admonished me on record.
I would do the same legal response to this bitter old man
I personally knew a young lady who worked on his shows and other TV shows behind the scenes attending to actors needs etc, I asked her about this and she said it was a load of crap!
Just to clarify what was crap the accusations or this speech ?

Dearest Vanessa, your story and Craig's story deserves to be told and heard and I thankyou so much for delivering such a powerful speech, telling of yours and Craig's experience. Craig continues to be one of my very favourite Australian actors and I was absolutely gutted upon hearing of these allegations against him. Certainly this would have produced some serious CPTS in both of you. I pray that both of you are continuing to heal from this and that you are finding joy in your daily activities. We love you Craig from Neighbours to Dr Blake and everything in between. The truth will always set you free!
I'm glad I stumbled on this. I hadn't heard this side of the story. Good point that the accusation makes a better story than exoneration. Hope Craig is able to recover from this.
I agree, I have never had the opportunity to hear this side. Personally, I never believed the rubbish that was presented and I'm so glad that this has been made available for the general public. I will verbally promote this to who ever wants to listen. Well done.
Thank you so much for telling THE TRUTH Vanessa. I’m so sorry you’ve both had to endure this nightmare of lies and injustice. Thank you for being courageous and fighting for the truth.
One of the issues is that the Barristers, Magistrates and Judges really do think they are above us, and that they possess higher intellect and more rights than the "ordinary citizen" ! Their collective arrogance and false sense of superiority is absolutely eye watering!
My cousin is a judge and he thinks like this but he always being a tosser😂
Very true words. i lived in a student house with 2 law students, while i was studying physics. These guys hardly did any contact hours just spent a couple of hours a day listening to the lecture tapes from home. Their course seemed like a joke to me studying physics. The thing is however they and their friends had such an inflated opinion of themselves, and as you accurately described an “eye-watering” sense of superiority that i was speechless. According to them,no one but lawyers are true professionals because only they are required to say ‘an oath of admission’, .
The (anti)Family Court as well as 'The hashtag" are just vehicles to make those bastards lot of money
You know when, in a society, certain people are referred to as:
Your Highness (being "Higher" than you)
Your Honour (being more "Honourable" than you)
Your Worship (being someone you must "Worship")
It is a sign of narcissism ..........
@@81carrerasc Yes the ultimate joke is calling Politicians "Honourable" ! What a bloody disgrace!
Such a beautiful, articulate, passionate, yet gentle woman. It's crazy that false allegations are made against innocent people, when out in the community we have murders weekly from domestic violence and sexual harassment from many people in positions of power and who are just sociopaths. Very brave of you to stand up for what's right Vanessa and so eloquently express what you, your family, Craig's family and TRUE friends have suffered.
Look at what happened to Geoffrey Rush, one of the world's very best actors, they tried to destroy him! He won in court but sadly he seems to have given up on his brilliant career. Not even seen in public these days?
I sat next to Rush on a flight from LA-SY, first class of course. I asked him his opinion on many of the important problems that were in play circa 1991 and to my surprise he was ignorant and basically clueless on every topic I brought up. These people live in a bubble of their own ignorance.
@@boeingdriver29That’s probably because you annoyed him and bored the hell out of him.
@boeingdriver29 or perhaps he has many private opinions that he doesn't wish to share because he might be of the school where he wants the roles he performs to remain unfettered by such topics you opine.
It is all too easy these days for the public to become disenfranchised by those whom don't share their views.
Also it is common for the press (and many people in general) to paraphrase and thus radically change the context of what was said.
@@boeingdriver29if somebody wants to enjoy their flight in private take the hint
I wouldn't want to talk to you if I was in First Class. How annoying
After watching this clip I am disgusted with everyone involved in the process of destroying Craig's career and harming the people around him. I watched the Dr Blake series and never believed he was capable of any of the accusations against him. What a sad world we live in. All my best wishes are with you both.
Shame on those, women and men, who wrongly accuse good people of ‘inappropriate behaviour’. Lowest of the low, toxic, inexcusable.
Exactly the same scenario perpetrated by Media types on the Army Unit I served with in Afghanistan, put through a inquiry with no legal rights or due process. 8 years later many are still waiting for their day in Court, meanwhile families have been destroyed.
Why aren’t these false accusers prosecuted and imprisoned
Because the proceedings are never held in open court and the unfortunate accused have zero chance of proving innocence .
Or better still make them fully responsible for paying financial reparations & making a very loud, public apology for spreading lies.
It is a gift from the feminist movement.
This is simply one of the steps in turning men into the 1930s Jews of Germany, which is the ultimate goal.
So sad to see him step down from Dr Blake. I LOVED his character in that show🥲
Those poor people. What Craig and Vanessa endured is a living hell, what has become of our society?
What a wonderful partner to have . Very smart lady & has the utmost integrity. If only we have such persons with in our courts & constabulary & DPP office with honesty!!!
Accusations without evidence should be instant grounds for jury nullifocation.
Might I suggest you look up what jury nullification means.
Accusations without evidence should be dismissed without evidence.

I watched this unfold with heartache and disbelief! As someone who went to school with Craig. I remember him in the S’cool a production The Entrance high created setting the course Craig would follow. It’s sad what has happened, tall poppy, professional envy, financial gain for those making the accusations. Falsely smearing someone as a sexual predator is something that stays with them for the rest of their days! It’s just evil!
I remember seeing the hidden camera interview where the ABC journalist kept feeding words to an accuser and embellishing what she said while taking notes
I never believed her accusation, absolutely appalling that she destroyed him and his career and put Craig and his family under such stress. This has got to stop!
I’ve loved Craig McLachlan since he played Henry on Neighbours. Never believed the allegations. He’s so lucky to have you talking for him. So unfair! 😢
What a beautiful and eloquent woman. I was incredulous when all the false allegations were accepted by so many as being the truth, without any proper due process or empathy or understanding. I think some women have a lot to answer for. Just because a woman says something happened, does not mean it actually did. Women can lie really well and be extremely manipulative. So sorry this happened to Craig.
I also don’t understand why they wound her up and she didn’t get to complete her speech?
I would like to have heard her full talk. It's a shame she was wound up from taking their story.
It's hard to keep to time on such subjects particularly when it a subject such as this, but in fairness all the speakers had time limits including Bettina, the whole conference was 7hrs long. The full video is on this channel under live stream
The hysteria around 'Me-Too" is insane ! People dreaming up scenarios in their own head and creating a frenzy. Fugazi ....
Why did they wind you up , I wanna hear your full speech !
Just disgusting. No wonder I never leave the house and avoid women as much as possible, including my own family.
I'm sorry ... I'm a woman and I just hate being Australian right now and don't leave my house !!
Why was there a time limit on this so she couldn't tell the full story yet again
The only difference between the ABC and the Lost Dogs Home is $1.2 Billion every year.
Imagine organising to have someone speak at an event to tell their side of events, a side of the story that has been ignored and unreported and then as the organiser you tell her to finish quickly and she then has to skip parts of what she wanted to say 🤯.
It's hard to keep to time on such subjects particulaly when it a subject such as this, but in fairness all the speakers had time limits including Bettina, the whole conference was 7hrs long. The full video is on the presumption of innocence youtube channel.

Sue them for defamation, drag them through the courts
That requires you to have endless resources, time and emotional super strength.
A mate of mine very wisely said to me when I was considering litigation against a company that had viciously wronged me, "can you afford to lose your house, business, means of income, your family and everything else you hold as precious".
"There's no guarantee you win and every possibility you lose ............. be patient and wait until you have fulfilled your requirements to your family & children. You can then exact revenge when the adversary has all but forgotten and least expects it"
Although it was 30 years ago, I'm incredibly patient. I drive past their business everyday ........ one day I'll stop.
Hhmmmm...well how about I help you with your little problem and perhaps you can help me with my little problem....? 😊@81carrerasc
If you listen Vanessa and Craig were suing for defamation but when the judge ruled they could not admit into evidence his aquittall on all charges, what was the point!! of continuing a losing battle against media organzations with deep insurance pockets!!!
@johnwitte551 Well, putting your critical thinking aside and using your emotional intelligence ( I.e. reading between the lines), my comment is, in its essence, a show of support for Craig and Vanessa. I'm no lawyer, nor have I ever sued or been sued, I don't pretend to know what is involved, but it does seem a big injustice has been dealt to Craig , what other recourse to justice would you suggest ? !!!!! !!!!! !! ( see that. ... I saw your 5 exclamation marks and raised you 2 )
MeToo just attacked a friend of mine……she got her resignation package and a large settlement equal to estimated legal fees
And shown the front door!……..my friend lost his job until she had left the building….
Karma is waiting for her….
Why is it that the supposed perpetrators are from the outset ALWAYS identified but the accusers hide in the shadows and for the most part anonymous. So protecting the accusers is paramount but the accused is fair game. This dichotomy needs to shift.
Oddly enough, although protected by the courts, a quick Google showed me exactly who his accusers were!
I too have been taken to to court with false allegations, it crushed me for over a year. No evidence required. My accuser played victim yet I was truly hurt! EVIDENCE! PLEASE WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE!
Thank you for sharing… stay strong 🙌
Thank you for sharing this with the public, Bettina. Your humanitarian approach to men's advocacy will be richly rewarded. Best wishes.
Well done Vanessa. Thank you for speaking the truth. I agree that there is never any place for bullying, harassment or sexual assault but to falsely accuse someone of something so terrible is a horrendous thing to do. They should be named & made to pay court damages to Craig. I wish you & Craig all the very best. ❤❤❤
If the presumption of innocence is removed, it is only right that men should segregate away from women for their own protection

Thank you Vanessa, so articulate. Craig’s dedication and hard work make it even more heartbreaking to see everything taken away so unfairly. These woman tore him apart and the media scrutinized him even further They definitely wanted their moment in the spotlight. The fact that it went to trial is truly perplexing and frustrating. These woman ruined someone's livelihood with no CONSEQUENCES to them, so unjust and disheartening.
No such thing as a former feminist.
Nora Vincent ?

I'm sorry that you were asked to "wind it up" . This is deeply personal and deeply devastating. I am so sorry.
When an opinion given on Facebook can lead you to a two year instantaneous prison sentence, a trial like this appears rather quaint and Edwardian now.
Vanessa, my heart aches for both you and Craig (in nothing but a caring manner I might add just to be clear). What a destructive rollercoaster and failure of natural justice this sordid story tells. I am just so glad that you were there for Craig. Being accused and then exonerated does not make it any better. The damage is deep, physically, mentally and financially. Vexatious accusers need to face justice but they never do. The Aussie larrikin is fast facing extinction. We cannot joke about anything these days or be a bit out there. It is fast becoming a sad world that we live in.
What a wonderful partner. I never for one instance suspected that Craig was guilty.
I never believed he was guilty and am appalled that his career has been destroyed yet those who were guilty of making false statements against him have walked away with zero consequences.
Funny how we never hear accusations against plumbers electricians handymen. Always against famous men or men in positions of power.
This comment and anyone who likes it is daft. Obviously we don't hear about those instances as they are not news worthy. It's the celebrity factor that makes these cases of public interest.
We should embrace Islam and make our women cover up. Problem solved
Christie Whelan actress who accused him falsely in order to get millions because she was over 40 and broke. She and her husband bought a house they could not afford, not much work. Quick money was her determination, she got millions in compensation. She could not get it from Craig, because of the not guilty verdict, she was so determined to get the money, she sued the company and finally got it. Everyone knows what happened. She was provoking him on the set, pulling his pants, joked in a sexual manner. She joked back in a similar way, playful joking on a set. She used this in court to accuse him. She was not going to stop, was after the money.
Well the magistrate stated that all the witnesses were credible and that he wasnt
It is not the Magistrates right to mouth off , discusting !
Christie Whelan was sitting on his lap in her underwear between the sets, they had witnesses, she was first provoking joking in a sexual manner, pulling his pants, joking around the way they always do behind the scenes. She was over 30, old enough to stop his advances if happened, he was a hired actor, he was not a director. They both were hired actors, she could stop him joking or making him uncomfortable right there. Or complain to the producers of the show, company straight away, obviously he would stop making her uncomfortable, if he was doing it. She sued the company to get compensation ( she was after 2 million ), this is what’s ridiculous. She got her compensation. They settled the case already. He should take her to court as well for sexual harassment, she was pulling his pants and sitting / rubbing herself against him in her underwear. Disgusting behaviour. Obviously she could not sue him because of the Not guilty verdict, she decided to sue a company. It’s to get quick money, obviously.
@@МаринаСигунова-л3гthe magistrate found that he had committed those acts and stated the the accusers were brave and honest ,but it was judged on the old legislation

Come back Craig ! You could do a Dr Blake Christmas special investigating the murdering of your career by others unspecified, played by big human sized carrots C1, C2 and C3. ( in the vein of giant bananas B1 and B2). Absurd but true enough and funny. Hey maybe comedy / tragedy could be your thing now. Play the part dryly, no smiling whatsoever . The comedy will speak for itself. Came back to edit....the carrots would by necessity need to be a horrible unhealthy pasty orange color , as we all know the lovely bright orange indicates the presence of carotene which is good for the eyesight , (all as I understand it). These "carrots" C1 C2 and C3 were all clearly lacking in any good objective vision whatsoever. Maybe they all should wear thick lensed glasses and be maybe a little opaque also indicating obscured vision from cataracts.💪 Stay strong.
I was never confused. Always knew Craigs innocence. Blessings and love to you both ❤
Thank you for bringing all this to our attention . I was confused when I first heard of the allegations & found them hard to believe but tried to keep an open mind on both sides. I’m sickened by C1 C2 & C 3 no guess as what I may think C stands for.
I wish you had not been cut short I wanted to hear everything you had to say . Love & best wishes to you Craig . I hold out huge hopes for karma for all in these situations it’s amazing what shit people twist & the why isn’t always obvious
confirms scabies is real & out there and so damn difficult to treat.
I’m usually one who says, we must believe the victim. However from the first time I heard about this, without knowing anyone involved personally, I knew it was bullshit. These people who make these accusations are a disgrace and make it harder for actual victims to be heard.
I've never understood the crap of "we must believe the victim". Why? What we must do....is believe the FACTS.
Craig admitted most of what he was accused of,and the magistrate let him go because of the old legislation.The magistrate said he had an sense of entitlement that allowed him to think that he had permission
She also said the accusers were credible.
Calling one of the accusers little slit (referring to her vulva) is not acceptable behaviour
One of the males in the cast stated that he was bullied by him
Hes very lucky it wasn't judged on current legislation
100% 👍 Hopefully he’ll get help with his narcissism.
@@adamb1671perhaps you will get help for your unqualified need to psychologically diagnose people
Well what can you say to that - pretty straight forward Thanks😊
It only takes two lies , to condemned an innocent man !
I've been in the business my whole life. Craig is a nice guy but has always been very handsy and full on around women. I don't think he committed a crime but I think his personality might have been too much for some in light of metoo. Just sayin.
The Greg Hatton? How cool!
I can see that.
His personality is too much for this time. Sad
How is it possible that false accusations are not dealt with in a court of law and these liars are not held to account. And as for the media…… not a word out of them about the case being dropped. Disgusting. Well done and thank you for speaking out ❤️
Dear Vanessa, what a truly extraordinary, articulate and elegant speech. Utterly and completely compelling. The distress, pain and hurt, ie trauma, behind that story is palpable. It has taken years, and I can only imagine, continues for you both.
Court battles can cause untold trauma, even where 'the accused', has done what they are accused of. It is however unthinkable what it must be like to endure that process where the person, 'the accused', is indeed innocent, and as you so elegantly detailed, taken entirely out of the patently relevant context of where such alleged incidents occurred. As a lawyer myself i feel tremendous shame about the handling of this matter from so many perspectives you have articulated, and although i am only one of them, I sincerely apologise. The law makers, ie politicians, of which I am not one, need also to apologise in continuing to afford vastly different standards of 'privacy and protections' to only one side of the fence.
Please know many of us always believed the accusations weren't true, I believed Craig wasn't that person.
I have missed Doctor Blake too, absolutely loved it. Send mine and all those who believe in Craig, mine/our love, and ihope to see his smile again ❤️
A terrible tale very well told. It is horrifying to see how easy it was for lies to be believed. This is a cautionary tale of why we cannot ‘just believe the victim’. Human nature is not above deceit.
What a wonderful presentation.... Took a lot of guts and hit the mark... Congratulations on your courage and truthfulness... I always supported Craig from day 1... And I agree he was really badly treated
These vexatious claims must be challenged in a court of law
These accusations are more common than people might think. In the family court they are all too common, and if people think courts are about evidence and facts you’re in Lala land.
The problem with these things is there are little to no consequences for lying or fully lying in affidavits. My ex wife tried this to get a leg over in our property and custody dispute. I won in court but only after spending over $100k, her ‘glowing attitude came through’ on the stand.
....and I thought the Family Court was bad....! But, its been my experience that in the big scheme of things, no-one gets away with lying, scheming behaviour. It may take years, but Karma eventually happens in one way or another. Thankyou for telling the public what really happened.
Such a strong and entthralling address. But it was cut short, is there a video of the full speach? I want to hear every word from this woman - please.
This is the first time I have heard about MeToo since Joe was accused by Tara. That's one accusation I do believe...
There were a few more, mainly actors being accused. And while I do tend to believe those accusations made against jennoside Joe, I don't think that unproven allegations against anyone should be taken seriously. Especially when those allegations could very well be of a political nature (Brett Kavanaugh was another victim of that). There's enough wrong with JB to dislike him outside of unproven allegations from decades ago conveniently come out at a politically opportune time.
@@crazymonkeyVII I just found it typical when Joe got accused and then the MeToo went quiet...I also found it ironic how the MSM went on about Trumps comment about grabbing them by the, haha, youtube censorship. And then Joe was accused of literally doing it...Wouldn't put it past the child sniffer.
Yes, very interesting that when Biden was accused the "believe all women" slogan seemed to disappear.
And Tara Reade defected to Russia, to avoid being epsteined.

Any correlation between the legal system and justice is purely coincidence. Those who are supposed to implement the law often prejudge the case then proceed on the basis of their prejudice. In my experience this applies to civil matters as well the one outlined.
It's disgusting what those women did...should be jailed!!!
Those woman should be named and shamed, for ruining someone’s reputation!
My wife and I saw the Rocky horror show in Melbourne and enjoyed the show immensely, and I think I remember him in an afternoon tv series back in the mid '70's about a high school which I think he was in.

Fantastic to listen to. I must say we were one of the ones who didn’t believe c1/2/3. Same happened to a teacher at my children’s high school. These accusers should be held to account and face the full force of new laws that should be in place to protect the innocent ones accused.

I work in this industry and followed this case closely. I'm shocked. How did none of this important information make it into reporting? How did the judge draw these damning conclusions- conclusions the DPP never suggested themselves? How did I swallow this hook line and sinker until now?
