We must cast a wide net on sexual misconduct

Re Prizes and protest, Jan. 8

The Golden Globes celebrate the best fiction in movies and on TV, although this time we see more about the reality of the acting industry with the revelation and subsequent condemnation of inappropriate behaviours. Inappropriate is a very broad term, but unfortunately we have learned of so many alleged crimes — yes crimes — that we need to make sure the net is spread as widely as possible.

We all need to listen to the words of Oprah Winfrey and act so that there is never a need to say these things again. The calendar moved into the 21st century nearly two decades ago, it’s time the industry caught up. Dennis Fitzgerald, Melbourne, Australia
