The Greens sure have a problematic relationship with facts. This is, after all, the party whose star senator (which is a short enough list, given the Greens’ tiny representation) thought that a television drama was a documentary. The Greens have also made demonstrably false claims about everything from [duck hunting in Tasmania](https://www.austdeer.com.au/2021/02/10/1382827/minister-calls-out-greens-lies?ref=goodoil.news) to [irrigation in NSW](https://www.miragenews.com/greens-peddling-lies-on-fish-kill/?ref=goodoil.news).

So it’s no surprise to find another Greens MP peddling blatantly false claims about the latest scandal gripping Canberra.

> When Greens Senator **Larissa Waters** insists that “women do not lie about being raped” she is, of course, not telling the truth. And for the most cynical of reasons.  
>  
> She made the comment after senior Liberal MP **Peter Dutton** described the alleged rape of a Liberal staffer as a case of ‘she said, he said’.

Dutton is absolutely correct. Like in so many such cases, there are no external witnesses nor solid forensic evidence. **Like it or not, it’s all down to one person’s word against another’s.**

But that’s just so many “hate facts” for the venomous harpies of the green-left.

Greens MP Larissa Waters expresses visible confusion when confronted with facts. The BFD. Photoshop by Lushington Brady.

> In response, Waters tweeted:  
> WOMEN DO NOT LIE ABOUT BEING RAPED  
> @PeterDutton\_MP YOU INHUMANE, SEXIST RAPE APOLOGIST

Well, hate to break it to you, love, but some women **do** lie about rape. That does not mean that all or even most do – but **some** absolutely do.

> **The Queensland senator’s statement is demonstrably false, even if typed with caps lock. Some women do in fact lie about being raped.**  
>  
> A Victorian study of 850 reported rapes between 2000 and 2003 found that 2.1 percent of them were untrue, with complainants charged or threatened with charges for filing false police reports.  
>  
> In 2019 a Canberra woman was jailed for three years for faking a crime scene and falsely accusing her former partner of rape. The former partner spent four months in prison before the charges were dropped.

2.1% may not sound much, but it’s still much higher than the rate of false accusations for other crimes. **Other studies have [found much higher rates ](https://healthresearchfunding.org/8-false-rape-accusation-statistics/?ref=goodoil.news)of false rape accusations; up to 8%, or higher.**

As the Canberra case cited above, some women will go to quite elaborate lengths to frame men. Other famous fake cases in the US include “Mattress Girl” and *Rolling Stone*’s “A Rape on Campus”.

So either Waters is knowingly lying when she claims no woman lies about rape, or she is astonishingly ignorant of the facts.

**Neither is a good look – but hypocrisy is even worse.**

> Waters does not really believe that women never lie about being raped, or else she would have already resigned from the Greens in disgust.

> Not only have several Greens politicians and staffers been accused of sexually abusing colleagues, but the Greens have a strange enthusiasm for accused rapists – providing they’re on the correct side of politics, apparently.  
>  
> After all, it was the Australian Greens who, just this month, nominated **Julian Assange** for the Nobel Peace Prize. Assange was accused of rape in 2010 – a charge he has denied and which Swedish police have subsequently decided not to pursue.  
>  
> Moreover, if women never lie about being raped, how does Waters explain her leader’s enthusiasm for **Joe Biden**?  
>  
> \[…\]Would this not make the leader of the Greens, by Waters’ own definition, a rape apologist?  
>  
> And if women never lie about being raped, how do we explain the Greens’ failure to advocate on behalf of **Kathy Sherriff** who alleges she was raped in 1986 by former Labor leader **Bill Shorten** \[…?\]

**Waters’s determination to “believe women” seems to be predicated mostly on which side of politics the accused belongs.**

And if that’s not a triviliasing rape apologism, what is?
