The Full Court: stupid and a travesty of justice … that they find what this man has said and done would not vilify, harass or intimidate is quite extraordinary. On what grounds was this opinion reached? What in the opinion of the Full Court does it take then to vilify or harass a Jewish person or the Jewish people? Or perhaps the point there is, that no actual Jewish person was present with Tim Anderson at the time?

Kafka could not have written this episode better.

I do hope there is an appeal and that it’s successful, as it should be. What a terrible precedent the Full Court has set for all the antisemites who wish to ply their trade in academia to follow.
