  1. Excuse my ignorance but is there not a union or a social body that protects media/journalist employees rights at work?

    If not, I don’t blame him for going after Nine. It’s not as if they are ever going to hire him again so why not get a few bucks while he has a case. I doubt 7 or ABC care much if someone sues Nine, it would probably be a highlight on his CV now anyway

  2. Yes, junior, smart move on the part of your advisers. Stations unlikely to hire you if they know you run off to lawyers at the drop of a hat.
    Fortunately Seven in Townsville doesn’t have a helicopter.
    Nine still at it, reporter standing in front of bushes at Port Moresby airport, supposedly reporting on the Madang (or “Medang” as Nine spells it) plane crash. Bit like running out to Mascot to report on something that’s happened in Melbourne.
