A Supreme Court judge has found an ABC broadcaster engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct and acted in breach of his duties as a director.
Chaser star Julian Morrow is potentially facing a damages bill of more than $430,000, but has been awarded $35,000 in general and aggravated damages after it was found he was defamed by his former business partner Nick Murray…
Judge James Stevenson also found Morrow lied during attempts to settle and breached a joint venture agreement between his company and Mr Murray’s.
Morrow – represented by high-profile barrister Sue Chrysanthou – submitted 26 affidavits sworn by a variety of personalities, including senator Kristina Keneally, Labor MP Tony Burke, commentator Norman Swan and ABC veteran Phillip Adams, who all attested to his good character.
Ryan Young’s court report in the Herald Sun is better:
Nobody’s girl is a fraud and perpetual hypocrite…..running in Fowler and now turning up at a Vietnamese Catholic Church to receive communion. Back in 2017 this putrid woman wrote the following in The Malcolm Guardian…
““Catholicism has done more harm to Australia than Islam.”.”
All this fuss over a show nobody ever watched. On the other hand, if the ABC brought back The Checkout Chicks from the old Norman Gunston show.
Now if only someone would sue that boring prat Craig Reucassel. On the Michael Mosley/Norman Swan scale of boring pratdom, he’s an 11.
The meta-story here is The Chaser using the ABC as an ATM for 30 years.
Note that Yankee Keneally misspells ‘judgment.’
My Oxford dictionary shows judgment as the main spelling, but lists judgement as an alternative.
In British/Australian usage, it’s judgement.
In the 1930s, my mum was a shorthand typist in the government (South Australia).
She got called into the office by her boss who berated her over her spelling of judgement – I don’t remember which she’d used.
The boss actually proceeded to ring the university English department to get their ruling while the timid frightened teenage girl had to stand waiting in front of his desk.
Apparently the university don backed up mum’s spelling much to the displeasure of the boss.
Those were the days, grown men trembled in fear and would run when summoned as they were terrified of losing their jobs at the height of the depression.
If only politicians could be treated like that now!
The Chaser team always refer to themselves as the Chaser boys but they are all middle aged men who have never done anything not paid for by the ABC.
Which means they have lived off the taxpayer for decades during which they have continually insulted half those taxpayers with Uni revue adolescent snigger snigger type “comedy”. Always , always directed at only one side of the politic body.
As for Keneally, all someone running against her has to do is take an aerial shot of her Scotland Island home with the caption “and where did you spend Lockdown?” and stick that pamphlet in every letter box in Fuller. With a map on the back showing the distance from Scotland Island to the Fowler electorate. Done and Dusted.
How can the PM call a private citizen (John Howard) “into line” for anything, let alone for providing a character reference for a man (Cardinal Pell) cleared by the High Court 7-0?
KKK is a sick joke and is in good company with Penny Wong.

In Queensland in the 1960s, we were taught the correct spelling was “judgment”
Kristina Keaneally the ”catholic”.
I watched 3 minutes of it once. Just woeful.
Queenslanders were infiltrated and bothered by oversexed and over here GIs in the Second World War.
We should not be blamed for poor spelling.

Don’t forget “over paid”
