Hasbeen,

Peter Ridd has the support of Gina Rhineheart and the
fossil fuel industry. He has the support of wealthy
right-wing shock jocks like Andrew Bolt, Alan Jones,
the Institute of Public Affairs, and many other wealthy
donors. Do you really believe that it's a case of some
little bloke fighting the good fight? Ridd is also suing
for millions in compensation. I don't think you actually
believe what you just said.

Foxy's list of conservative commentators PROVES that the Reef is doomed.
Why not add everyone who appears on Sky News ?

Bazz,

If you know Prof. Ridd's other supporters you're
welcomed to list them yourself. I'm not sure
that everyone on Sky News supports him. But perhaps
they don't want to breach their employment agreements?

Dear GrahamY,

And not one mention of the union which insisted it was in the EBA? There are other institutions where Ridd would not have the opportunity to contest this in court because there is no such inclusion.

Trying to make out freedom of speech is something primarily from the right, and happy to shut-down ABC reporters from commenting via their personal twitter feeds, is a little disingenuous I would have thought.

Dear Hasbeen,

As an academic had Ridd been more supportive of AGW he would have been one of the elites you bang on about constantly. So it seems anyone who doesn't take your idiotic world view seriously is elitist.

How base level is that?

The difference SR is that he is not a lying academic, but whistle blowing against the grant hungry liars.

SR.

Congratulations.

My own view entirely. There are some short sighted thinkers on this site. You’ve exposed an example!
