I'm a bit surprised that scandal didn't make a thread for discussion!
Of course in this case it was an "invasion of privacy" as against "the public have a right to know" in the case of Frances Abbot.
Race reportedly features prominently in the series of emails, some explicit, between Senator Peris and Boldon.
" ... I don't want to say oh s*** I wish I had of f***** Ato when he came to Australia … lol ... cause I regret that I didn't 10 years ago, wish I wasn't the reserved person I was back then the shy girl..lol...," Senator Peris reportedly wrote.
"so my dear friend I am waiting for you … finally BLACK… just like a Tim-tam..black on black xxx"

I haven't been paying any attention to it so no idea but.................. if it was found there was no case to answer, why is it in the media?

Among all that poo in the O Post, there is a company I worked for at one time. No idea why, and I can't be bothered finding out.

There were no personal emails from FA's private email account given to the media.

This story was posted: 5 days ago (as it says on the link)
It is out of date. The claim in the title is incorrect.
What is there in the public's interest about your quote?

Prurient publication
Senator Nova Peris may or may not have done the wrong thing in the by bringing of sprinter ✓Ato Boldon to Australia in 2010.
What troubles me much more is the gross invasion of her privacy by publishing - including the most excruciatingly intimate details - some of her emailed communications with the Trinidadian. How did the Northern Territory News get a hold of those desperately private emails?
And was it right for the rest of the media, including Fairfax, to publish them?
Was it really in the public interest to put in the public domain such graphic detail as the sexual position Boldon was hoping to engage in when he arrived in Australia?
Or was it published primarily out of prurient and political interest?
At least, in hideously difficult circumstances, Senator Peris made reply in the Senate with some dignity.
