The Peter Ridd case is too important to be left to the courts : Comments
By Graham Young, published 2/7/2021If Ridd loses, then, without remedial action by the government, academics become mere cyphers of their universities, unable to strenuously critique the work of their colleagues.

Mate, that reads like something from a shellshocked victim.
It's alright son, things are going to be fine. This isn't sheep stations.
Happy to oblige in the most direct language possible since it seems to be the only thing that will calm you down.
You demanded: "Just a simple statement that you'd like Ridd to have the same rights that you demand for ABC jounos."
Yes I would like Ridd to have the same rights that I demanded (demand is a bit strong for what I said but doesn't matter) for ABC journos.
To be quite specific since that is what you have 'demanded', I want Ridd to be able express his opinion freely on his personal social media accounts.
Of course that isn't just what he did was it, he did the march through numerous rightwing media spots saying his some of his other academic colleagues couldn't be trusted.
So the question for you is should the ABC journos be given the kind of freedom you have clearly advocated for Ridd? Or are you going to be once again deeply hypocritical on this issue?
