Oh come on, the workplace has been destroyed by the bleeding hearts who have forced in PC where no-one can say anything that might dare to offend anyone. Sexual harassment in the workplace is more to do with people being over sensitive and having too many avenues to turn to including the bleeding hearts at the various Anti-Discrimination Commission's around the country who are too willing to waste taxpayers money for the most frivolous of lawsuits.

This seemingly outrageous claim is necessary to show corporate Australia that this behaviour will not be tolerated and if it makes people think twice before they say or do ... then it is worth it.
So ripping apart the workplace and creating an environment where the slightest word out of line can see you and your employer being hauled in front of the discrimination commissioner? Some people need to take a teaspoon cement before they go to work.

Good on her for having the courage to bring this man and his organisation to task.

Some of the comments on this thread are proof that we need a big public case so the issue is taken seriously and the harassment will eventually stop.
All it does is make a mockery of the laws and expose the people for the gold diggers they are.

I don't care what she does with the money. She'll have an interesting time getting another job in her field.
I'm sure if she doesn't get an interview she'll be jumping up and down and if anyone does hire her they'll want to be on their best behavior.
