Dr Peter Ridd was dismissed from James Cook University (in 2016) for telling the truth about hysteria regarding AGW. Hysterics had claimed the Great Barrier Reef was dying. Ridd pointed to objective evidence that that was not true.
Simply for pointing to facts which contradict AGW hysteria, Ridd was dismissed from James Cook University for having breached their code of conduct. JCU has since claimed his alleged breach of the code of conduct was not for that issue. But as his work was exemplary, it is hard to know what else might have triggered it.
Ridd sued JCU and won his job back under Fair Work regulations from 2009. in 2019, but JCU appealed and today, the full High Court unanimously supported JCU.
Here, Rskam writes "I am absolutely devastated and still in a state of shock as I write this.
It has just been announced that Dr Peter Ridd lost his case in the High Court of Australia five-nil. In a unanimous judgment the High Court decided that despite the clear words of Enterprise Agreement under which Peter was employed at James Cook University that was supposed to protect his right to intellectual freedom, the University's Code of Conduct allowed it to sack Peter because he questioned the scientific evidence upon which rested the claims that the Great Barrier Reef was being destroyed by climate change.
This is just terrible. Not only for Peter and wife Cheryl and his family and for all of us who have supported Peter through two and a half years of court cases. I feel for every young academic and researcher who now will be even more afraid to speak up and challenge the scientific evidence. And I feel for every young Australian who will ever want to put up their hand in class and ask a question and disagree with their teacher.
The High Court's decision proves not only that Australia's universities are in crisis. After all we knew that already. But as difficult as things might be right now and as hard as it is to talk about it in the minutes after we've heard the result of the case, what's happened today just shows we cannot give up. We can't. We owe it to ourselves and to those that come after us to never give up. Our freedom to think, to speak, to argue and to debate and to be what makes us human means we must continue to struggle and to fight and to gain strength from our losses – no matter how bitter they might be. We must strengthen our resolve in the knowledge that it is up to each and every one of us to try and make a difference.
Please know that Peter and the Institute of Public Affairs are not giving up and we will never give up. That is my personal commitment to you.
I'm pleased to announce that as of today Peter Ridd is a Fellow of the Institute of Public Affairs and he will lead a new research program at the IPA, the Project for Real Science. Peter will donate his time, he insisted his position will be unpaid, and Peter will continue his fight for integrity in science. Peter will be doing research and will be making documentary and educational films and working to ensure that no academic speaking out for integrity in science will ever have to suffer the ordeal he went through.
You can make a tax deductible donation to support Peter's research in the Project for Real Science here.
There will be so much more to say about this in the coming days and weeks and tomorrow we'll be sending you the details of a special event with Peter we'll be holding over Zoom on Tuesday evening. It will be Peter's opportunity to say thank you to you.
And that's what I want to say too. Thank you for your support for Peter and for his and our cause. Today's result is a bitter bitter defeat, but we cannot let it define us.
Peter as one incredibly brave and courageous person has made a difference. He has suffered a loss, but he fought and he stood up for what he believed. As did the thousands of mainstream Australians who supported him financially and emotionally and who I know are hurting right now as much as I am.
We will not give up.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

Do you agree with France, UK and, Australia that the Iranian planned invasion of Israel by Hamas, siezing hostages and killing and raping innocent civilians, is worthy of statehood? Israel has for over seventy years offered peace, even offering land for security. But, now, Israel is resolved to provide security, and police, Gaza, ensuring Hamas has no role.
Make a song in ancient Jewish tradition of their Gaza objective. Include how they repeatedly offered peace to Hamas, but were spurned. Trump warned Hamas of what would happen if they failed to return the hostages. They refused. Include how UN and Europe have emboldened Hamas to not return the hostages. Include how Hamas has deliberately starved her own people to blame Israel.
