The Court said:" In order to succeed in her claim, Ms Eatock needed to establish that:
- It was reasonably likely that fair-skinned Aboriginal people (or some of them) were offended, insulted, humiliated or intimidated by the conduct; and
- That the conduct was done by Mr Bolt and the Herald &Weekly Times, including because of the race, colour or ethnic origin of fair-skinned Aboriginal people."
Certainly no comfort to any other political commentator. Does anyone remember what was said?
1A – “It’s so hip to be black”
2A – “White fellas in the black”
1B – “One of these women is Aboriginal”
2B – “Aboriginal man helped”
