Newspapers agree to pay former columnist around $60,000, including $20,000 in legal costs, in response to comments made by the mastheads’ executive editor

The Sydney Morning Herald and the Age newspapers will pay former columnist Clementine Ford roughly $60,000, after defamation proceedings over comments from the mastheads’ executive editor.in favour of Ford in the proceedings she launched against the former Fairfax newspapers now owned by Nine, and Tory Maguire, the executive editor, with the order that Ford be paid $39,000 – an amount the parties had agreed to by compromise.

Ford, who quit as a columnist at the newspapers in 2019 after she was internally cautioned over a tweet calling the prime minister, Scott Morrison, a “fucking disgrace”, had given an interview to the Nine newspapers’ Spectrum section in November 2021 about her “I had knocked back a pitch for an interview with her but there was a breakdown in communication and it was commissioned and published in error. I have pulled it from Spectrum and taken it down out of respect for my team,” Maguire said.

Before launching defamation proceedings, Ford requested an apology over the comments, which was refused. Guardian Australia understands no apology will be made following Tuesday’s consented judgment.
