Guest post: Vikki Campion – Aunty plays favourites
IF you defamed someone, would your boss pay the legal bill? That’s exactly what’s happened when the ABC paid the legal bills of journalist Louise Milligan who defamed someone on her social media accounts. If it had been any other government agency that forked out $79,000 in damages and $50,000 in costs — paid for…
