Scientist Peter Ridd is in the Federal Circuit Court in Brisbane (right now). Jennifer Marohasy has news, especially about the ABC not even reporting the case is underway.

Why is our ABC not reporting issues involving devastation (or not) of Australia's greatest international underwater tourist attraction, the Great Barrier Reef? Why? Is there any justified reason?

simply does not fit the leftist narrative JF Aus. The abc are a disgrace and a waste of tax payer money at least at the national level.

Why would leftist politics want to suppress work and news and discussion about coral and ocean ecosystem science?

What motive exists for science to suppress science as in the case of scientist Peter Ridd?

Clearly a case of ideology trumping science. Nothing new.

Rudd case update thanks to Jennifer Marohasy.

Do the proceedings of this court case, or indeed any civil court case, really count as "key news"? How many news organisations are covering it?

I'm sure the result will be newsworthy enough for the ABC to report, and FWIW if I were in charge of ABC news I probably would cover the proceedings. But resources are limited and court cases slow, so I can understand their decision not to.
