High Court's Peter Ridd ruling an assault on freedom of thought

Ridd was sacked by JCU in 2018 for criticising the work of a colleague studying the Great Barrier Reef. In an email to a journalist, he said the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority"is grossly misusing some scientific 'data' to make the case that the Great [B]arrier Reef is greatly damaged".

Ridd also said on Sky News that the Australian Institute of Marine Science “could no longer be trusted”.Rather, it was confined to whether Ridd had broken the conditions of his employment contract.He contested that sacking in the Federal Circuit of Australia and was awarded $1.2 million in damages and penalties.

The concerns Ridd raised regarding the quality of research being conducted at one of our leading universities should alarm every Australian. How do we know that other research institutions are not immune to similar accusations? The answer is, we don’t.Hardly a day goes by these days when there isn’t a story about a university liberal arts degree teaching gullible kids about “indigenous queer studies” and the fertile intellectual crossover between art, race, sexuality, climate change and colonialism.

Cant win cases again CairnsHHS and jcu, too much money and corrupt.

So flat earther loses. Who cares!

Alan...So you think you have a better understanding of Australian law than the High Court? Or, is the real problem that one of News Corp/SKY pet 'experts' has reputational problems

What bullshit. What you should be talking about is how this govt paid him to tour around Queensland spreading his bullshit and how he is now the IPA golden boy. If you need a scientist to ignore the facts and push your agenda, Ridds your man. Probably going cheap atm too.

Coal funded?
