“Louise Milligan tweet costs ABC $130K in Laming settlement

A defamatory tweet posted by high-profile ABC reporter Louise Milligan — which “irrevocably” damaged the reputation of federal Liberal MP Andrew Laming — will cost the taxpayer more than $130,000 in damages and legal costs.
The payout consists of $79,000 in court-ordered damages, and an estimated $50,000 in Dr Laming’s legal fees.
The costs will be covered by the ABC, not Milligan.
Dr Laming launched defamation proceedings against Milligan in May after he claimed she posted multiple tweets that “irrevocably damaged his personal and professional reputation”.
Court documents reveal Milligan made a series of tweets on March 28 relating to Dr Laming after 29-year-old Crystal White accused the Queensland politician of taking a photo of her while she was bent over at a Brisbane landscaping business in 2019. The photo showed her underwear beneath her shorts.
Dr Laming denied taking a photo under a woman’s skirt and claimed it was a “completely dignified” picture of a woman in her workplace “kneeling in an awkward position and filling a fridge with an impossible amount of stock, which clearly wasn’t going to fit in the fridge”.
Queensland Police cleared him over the allegations within hours of a complaint being lodged.
One of the since-deleted tweets posted by Milligan read: “Laming upskirts”.
On Wednesday the matter was resolved in Sydney’s Federal Court with Justice Anna Katzmann ruling in Laming’s favour. Milligan’s legal team agreed to pay Dr Laming damages, and also his legal costs, although the costs will not include the costs of Dr Laming senior counsel appearing in court today.
Milligan engaged legal firm Bird & Bird to represent her and in early June it is understood she deleted the tweets relating to Dr Laming and also removed from her Twitter bio her own claim that stated “tweets *not* deleted”.”
Report comment
Incorrect – taxpayers will pay the bill.
—————————-
Yes, but it will have to come out of the ABC’s annual operating budget, which means there’ll have to be a corresponding cut somewhere.
As a consequence of this and previous costly errors, Milligan is reportedly none too popular at the workers’ co-operative that is the “national broadcaster”.

Epic siege that helped remake the world as we know it
BOOKSHELF
EDWARD KOSNER
The occupation of ravaged Berlin by the triumphant Americans, British and Russians in the summer of 1945 inscribed a coda to World War II in Europe, but it was also the first skirmish in the Cold War that in many respects is still going on.
For most adult Americans, post-war Berlin is a flickery newsreel of the 1948 Allied airlift, the construction of the wall sealing off the Russian sector in 1961, and its joyous destruction 28 years later as the Soviet empire began to implode. Those fading memories are faint reflections of the dramatic struggle for Berlin, especially in those first years.
At Yalta in February 1945, Winston Churchill, a dying Franklin Roosevelt and the cagey Joseph Stalin carved up Germany, with the Russians taking the eastern half and the Allies dividing up the west. Berlin – isolated in the Soviet zone 155km from Germany’s internal border – was itself divided in similar fashion.
Two rail lines and two autobahns controlled by the Russians afforded the only access to the city from the West. The British and American zones each had an airport – seemingly peripheral at the start, they would each play central roles in the epic siege of Berlin that was to shape the enduring conflict to come.
Soon a courageous band of American and British military officers would be jousting daily with their obdurate Soviet counterparts over the fate of 2.4 million cold and half-starved West Berliners, while far away in Washington, London and Moscow their superiors schemed for advantage in the fog of a new kind of war over the future of Europe itself.
British writer Giles Milton brings this epic story to exhilarating life in Checkmate in Berlin, his meticulously researched and crisply written account of those pivotal early years in divided Berlin. His book is popular narrative history at its best, evoking the savage rapacity of the Soviet conquerors and unspeakable suffering of the captive Berliners, the plucky resilience of an all-but-forgotten hero of the American occupation forces, and the brilliant execution of the Allied airlift that broke the Russian blockade of Berlin.
Milton, the author of 11 other books, is deeply unsympathetic to the Soviets, despite their monumental losses to the Nazis in the war. Inflamed by vodka, the rampaging Russian troops, he writes, raped countless German women and girls – including nurses, all of them nuns – at a Berlin hospital.
Under orders, they plundered factories, offices and homes. They took machinery, equipment, furniture and housewares, even wall sockets and door knobs, for shipment back home.
In what the author calls “the greatest looting spree in history”, more than 15,000 crates of art treasures – Greek statuary and vases, priceless gems, works by Caravaggio, Donatello, Goya, Rubens, Tintoretto, Van Dyke and more – were sent to Moscow. Thousands of German scientists (and their families) were abducted to labour in Russian labs.
The Allied troops were better behaved. They cursed and cuffed Berliners but rarely killed them, although the Americans shanghaied 1600 German scientists of their own, including Nazi collaborators such as Wernher von Braun.
Armed with cigarettes, chocolate and nylons, American GIs and Brits “fratted” with the frauleins rather than raping them, their dalliances more consensual, if mercenary.
But all that was a sideshow to the main event: Stalin’s relentless efforts to drive the Allies out of Berlin, a key to his larger strategy to dominate Europe. For years US colonel Frank “Howlin’ Mad” Howley and general Lucius Clay absorbed the tirades from Soviet generals.
Stalin made the diplomatic wrangling moot 18 months later when the Soviets abruptly sealed off the roads and railways linking Berlin to the West and cut off sources of food, clean water, electricity, coal and medicine from the East.
The blockade meant starvation for the citizens of West Berlin and was designed to force the Allies to abandon the capital. “There we were, in a landlocked city,” Howley wrote later, “trapped in the Bear’s paws.”
So began one of the most heroic episodes in the annals of the US military and an exercise of excruciating complexity pulled off with stunning competence – the Berlin Airlift, a turning point in the Cold War. Victory in Berlin led to the formation of NATO, the founding of the West German federal republic – with Konrad Adenauer as its first chancellor – and eventually the unification of a Germany firmly allied with the Western democracies against Russian expansionism: the world as we know it today.

Israel last saw over 5,000 cases in a single day on February 14, when it recorded 5,190. Monday’s tally, which does not include the last two hours of the day, will likely be even higher when the full day’s count is announced Tuesday morning.’

If the ABC is paying for something for which they were not sued they should be required to justify doing so. They are given money to conduct specific operations, and although over the years they have managed to stretch and warp their role out of all recognition it still has edges.
So why are they paying for someone else’s misdeeds.
Surely the court ordered the payment from 7-Nilligan so she would pay the consequences for her act as its instigator. But the ABC has decided she should not. (I wonder if the courts have opinions about that?)
If the ABC felt they ultimately were responsible then why was this not presented to the court?
The other thing is why the ABC would consider 7-Nilligan should not pay? Was she justified? By their thinking is she nevertheless right?
The Libs are forever damning themselves buckling and surrendering to the ABC’s agenda. Yet it is in their power to take it out as a political player (which it is not meant to be) by holding them to statute and charter. With the ABC sticking to facts the Libs would be able to follow their own policies.
But that is probably it. After so long on their knees and on their face kowtowing their bones have remolded themselves, certain muscles that aid obeisance have grown while the other forgotten muscles shrunk and withered to such an extent they could not rise to their feet even if they wanted too.
But they don’t want to. Because just as habit has made their bodies bent and crippled so too it has their minds.

Anyone hoping to leave will have to demonstrate to the border force commissioner that they have a “compelling reason for needing to leave the Australian territory”.

I just spoke with my brother… his new girlfriend is a Dr who treats COVID patients in Sinny and she gets all the reports about covid patients.
Remember that 30yo Sydney woman who died? As was speculated on this site, she had at least one pre-existing condition that made her very susceptible to the couf. Without stating it, it’s the most common co-morbidity that helped the couf kill under 60yo Americans.
No news on the other ‘what are they not telling us’ cases yet.

“compelling reason for needing to leave the Australian territory”.
Does being in a constant state of near-nauseous disgust with the political class count?

So if Milligan has been told to personally cough up $129,000 to Laming for damages and his legal costs, that’d imply at least another $50 grand incurred by herself for her own unsuccessful legal costs.
That gets her to $179,000. Which means the ABC is up for over $350,000.
That’s because the ATO, who as we all know is always completely fair, will now regard the ABC’s payment for Milligan’s costs and damages as part of Milligan’s income for that year. At the top rate. Hence the $350k so that Louise has enough after losing half to tax to pay the bill with what’s left…
Perhaps some nice righty pollie might ask the ATO for comment?

BJ,
Are you sure that commentator wasn’t Struth?
Wrong writing style.

More astounding it that after each ‘learning experience’ she seems none the wiser and blunders on oblivious to her demonstrated failings.
Or it could be that she and the ABC have an understanding of sorts where she launches these unsubstantiated accusations and then the whole of the ABC can run with it, making it look like they are leading the way. So for a few months they pose as being vital to Australia’s interests until, inevitably, someone opens the window and the whole house of cards collapses. Well they don’t broadcast that bit.
And later ABC talking heads can admit that while the cases may have gone badly in court, it was a technicality and they can look at each other with narrowed eyes and an unspoken intimation of Da Troof.

Good one Bruce. It becomes an employment related Fringe Benefit. I wonder who does Their ABC’s BAS? Time for an ATO audit?

Or is that “V for Vendetta”?
Rather amusingly:
V for Vendetta was meant to be an indictment against the capitalism of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in the comic/cartoon from 1982, and George Bush and Tony Blair (the original neo-con) in the 2005 movie. Both showed a world taken over by evil corporations and fascist parties. It is a story supposedly based on anarchism v fascism.
What it however boils down to is simply individualism v totalitarianism…
The “evil” corporations are exactly like today’s Media, Big Techs and our governments are identical to the comic/movie autocratic / fascist ones. We don’t need to change much … all can easily be cast in a remake, (and we even have COVID as a pandemic/virus instead of the St Mary’s virus that allows the totalitarian takeover of society).
I like the movie (in fact I like a lot of Alan Moore’s comic work – Watchmen / league of extraordinary gentlemen etc). It is very prescient. Just not in the way Moore intended. 🙂

Not sure there is a mechanism for deeming income if not paid personally, but FBT almost certainly applies if the comments were made in her private capacity, and should be to her account.

🚨On this episode of the “Dr. Duke Show” we start in New Jersey, where a university is promoting a book that argues “homophobia will not be eradicated in the United States until religion is ended.”
Then, ask yourselves why so many people keep shuffling this whole, broad subject into the, “if you know anything, take it to the police”, dead topic basket.
People have been ‘taking this to the police’ since forever but seeing where the police so publicly, proudly stand now, you should be able to understand why ‘taking it to the police’ can be the worst thing those seeking justice, can do.
We are in an age when full term, live babies are ‘harvested’ so their body parts can be sold to the Biotech Industries, yet those Industries are protected by The Law while those exposing the ILLEGAL practices are ruined by the courts … but we’re expected to believe that silently going to the police is the best thing victims of paedophiles can do?

COVID induced travel restrictions and lockdowns are a god-send to the CO2 reduction crowd. No one (apart from the elite in their private plane) can travel overseas, and the lockdowns close of cities, and even within them you can’t go more than 5/10K.
It will be interesting to see by how much CO2 is reduced over 2020 and 2021 [and probably way beyond]. If it did not reduce, it would make VERY difficult to argue that the CO2 increase is driven by SUV and airplane emissions…
Oh wait…

The global surface average for carbon dioxide (CO2), calculated from measurements collected at NOAA’s remote sampling locations, was 412.5 parts per million (ppm) in 2020, rising by 2.6 ppm during the year. The global rate of increase was the fifth-highest in NOAA’s 63-year record, following 1987, 1998, 2015 and 2016. The annual mean at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii was 414.4 ppm during 2020.

What will it take for the journalist profession to turn on Nilligan and hound her out the way the Democrats have hounded Cuomo out? I suspect she would have to stitch up someone like Sarah Sea Patrol for that to happen and we all know Niligan is not a journalist but a culture war troll, so that would never happen.
