This isn't a law suit

This isn't a lawsuit.

If it were, it would have been thrown out. Which is, in fact, exactly why Human Rights Commissions are the weapon of choice in the soft jihad.

A real lawsuit would fail; there is no cause of action called "you hurt my self esteem"or "I want to write a long letter in your magazine". There's defamation, but that comes with defences like truth, fair comment, etc.

This started out as a political science class, a lecture in Marxist thinking about the media, racial identity politics, etc.

But now it's just a journey through Khurrum Awan's own weird psyche.

In other words, it's exactly what this kangaroo panel will respond to. Foolish Maclean's -- hiring Julian Porter, Roger McConchie, etc.! They should have brought in some zen-talking yoga instructor.

These Tribunal panellists know nothing about the law; they know nothing about media, or publishing. Yet they presume to judge Maclean's on both. No; they are, in their DNA, grievance hustlers. Awan's Oprah Winfrey-style testament is a perfect fit of psychobabble for them.
