The Loddon Region Gender Equality and Violence Prevention Consortium has recently seen some social media coverage concerning an alleged assault of a community member earlier this year by a high-profile figure. Whilst this matter is still before the courts, it was reported in the Bendigo Advertiser that he acknowledged his actions and apologised to everyone present at the incident with the exception of the victim. It is pleasing to see him acknowledging his behaviour in some shape or form. However, what we are most concerned about is the reaction of individuals in social media and online forums about the decision of the Bendigo Advertiser to cover the story.
