As the inquiry into the editor's conduct continues a wide
range of comments have been received. Two cabinet ministers from the National
Party have been in touch to say that this is political correctness gone mad
and, somewhat surprisingly their sentiments have been echoed by two of
Australia's best known feminist writers.
At the other end of the spectrum a group of ladies, led by a member of
the ALP and vice president of an unaffiliated union, dressed in dog costumes
are protesting outside our Brisbane office condemning Ducky's 'misogynist behaviour'.
At the same time the original plaintiff has formally
requested that their complaint be discontinued on the basis that Ducky has
formally and unreservedly apologised, is a decent individual with no track
record of bad behaviour, the comment was made in a private text and that any
offence was trivial compared to the public controversy this story has stirred
up.
The board will meet later today to make a ruling on Ducky's future.
