A woman was sacked soon after making a complaint about a colleague’s lewd “Tinder” comment. Now she’s won a stunning payout.

She has now received nearly $A42,500 in compensation after the Employment Relations Authority found that her work failed to provide a safe environment for her and then unjustifiably dismissed her.

Ms Clearwater, who said this was false, confronted Mr Thompson in a workshop and told him to “shut his mouth” and not “lie about sh*t”. Ms Clearwater said Mr Potter told her that Mr Thompson’s conduct was not “full on” harassment — a comment which indicated to her that her complaint would not be taken seriously.

Five days later, she was told by Mr Potter that Rayner’s Invercargill branch was part of a proposed restructuring and if it went ahead she would be made redundant.

Strip searches in spotlight after 21yo woman claims she has been targeted six timesResearch published by the University of NSW reveals there has been an almost 20-fold increase in the number of strip searches conducted in the past 12 years. Where's the rest of the story? Doubt she was randomly targeted without cause 6 times? Drug dogs detected she had been closely around drugs perhaps? The numbers in this story seem strange, she gets searched at 1 in 5 festivals she attends and 30% (1 in 3) of searches catch a criminal yet after 6 searches she has yet to be caught with her drugs on her. So how is she representative of the average person at such festivals? well please prove it's 6 times...oh yeah you dont have to; Pell case has shown that...
