Alan Jones ordered to pay $10,000 for racial vilification

I wonder if he will pay it now? or appeal again? Grubby person he is, may have been in his best interests to pay 9 years ago..

Broadcaster Alan Jones has been ordered to pay Muslim community leader Keysar Trad $10,000, ending a nine year battle over a radio segment found to have "stimulated listeners to hatred" of Lebanese men.

The Civil and Administrative Tribunal found comments broadcast on 2GB in April 2005 "portrayed Lebanese males as criminals and ... as posing a threat to the Australian community".

The Tribunal took long enough to make up its mind.  Jones has probably been fighting it all this time and paid out

hugely for legal fees.

The case has been in and out of courts for years. Jones was first ordered to pay damages to Mr Trad in 2009, but the broadcaster launched two attempts to overturn that decision.

Jones was successful in the Court of Appeal, which last year ordered Mr Trad repay $10,000 to Jones and sent the matter back to the tribunal for determination
