Subject: Defaming the Mullet

Dear Colleagues,  

 

Just in case you (or your students) are looking for defamation humour at the end of a long teaching semester, you might like to have a glance at this epic of the genre, just handed down in the humble District Court of New South Wales:   https://www.caselaw.nsw.gov.au/decision/580ead70e4b058596cba0b22

 

The following article captures some of the spice; and, more importantly, contains a picture of the hairdo in question: https://pedestrian.tv/news/arts-and-culture/mullet-photo-defamation-case-results-in-greatest-l/2a6c5e64-1469-4bc7-882e-0ca6c4404881.htm)

 

All good wishes to you,

 

Kit.
