Erin Molan wins Daily Mail defamation suit
Sports presenter and Sky News broadcaster Erin Molan has been awarded $150,000 in damages after winning a defamation suit against Daily Mail Australia.
The defamation suit regarded an article and two tweets published by the tabloid in June 2020, which she alleged falsely portrayed her as racist.
I find it really interesting that a personality can say these types of comments and a White Anglo judge decides in favour of the White Anglo woman, whose father is a former politician.
Has a precedent now been set that other personalities can mock people of different colour and culture and it will be acceptable ?
We have just gone backwards in how Australia will be perceived by our wonderful multicultural community and overseas visitors as a result of this ruling.
I also think the workplace of Paul Whittaker’s Sky News suits Molan, given their editorial stance and commentators like Bolt. She will fit in well, influencing their tiny audiences who have tiny minds.
