Sydney Morning Herald, 9 August 1995: 8, Garner, ‘Questions, not arguments about sex and power’. The Age, 9 August 1995: 4, Garner, ‘A Story That Needed To Be Told’. The Australian, 9 August 1995: 11. All subsequent references to the speech are from the version reprinted in the Sydney Morning Herald. 2. Pages 7–8. In John Fiske's Media Matters (Citation1996), he focuses on ‘media events’ staged in America; however, his insights can be appropriated for an analysis of TFS debate. 3. In 1997, the American edition—published by Free Press—included the speech as an ‘Afterword’. 4. This was the position of the Editorial in The Australian, 9 August 1995, 10; and McGuinness, ‘Defiant Garner Invites more Wrath from the Wimminists’, Sydney Morning Herald, 10 August Citation1995, 12. 5.

For a discussion of how such Othering works in a specifically academic context, see Susan Bordo's chapter ‘The Feminist as Other’ in Twilight Zones: The Hidden Life of Cultural Images from Plato to O.J. (Citation1999, 192–213). 8. For example, in Virgin or Vamp: How the Press Covers Sex Crimes, Helen Benedict emphasises how female victims of sex crimes are often described as ‘hysterical’ (Citation1992, 20). 9. See Catherine Lumby's Bad Girls: The Media, Sex and Feminism in the 1990s (Citation1997). 10. This tendency, as it manifested itself in 1990s Australian public discourse, is tracked comprehensively in Mark Davis's ‘crossover’ text Gangland: Cultural Elites and the New Generationalism (Citation1997). 11. In Allen (Citation2000, 35–36). 12. See, for instance, Don Edgar (Citation1995); Elizabeth Wynhausen (Citation1995); Vivien Porzsolt (Citation1995); and Rosemary Neill (Citation1995a, b). 13. For press coverage of Mead's speech, see Amanda Meade (Citation1995); Luke Slattery (Citation1995); and Neill Vincent (Citation1995). See, Mead, ‘The First Stone pushes the panic buttons’, Sydney Morning Herald, 21 September 1995: 13, Mead, ‘Mead V. Garner’. The Age, 21 September 1995: 15, Mead, ‘When it comes to sex and power, Garner just doesn't get it’. The Australian, 21 September 1995: 11. Mead, an English academic who worked at Ormond College during the time of the allegations, was represented as a key advisor to the complainants and, in the dominant rhetoric of a feminist ‘battle’, was positioned as Garner's primary adversary throughout the media event
