$850,000 in damages and I'd say a couple of $Million in lawyers fees...very expensive story for Rupert Murdoch's Australian newspapers.

But the judge has also inferred there will be exemplary damages..says Rush lost possibly $20Million in lost roles..he was on $185,000 a month for appearing at the Sydney Theatre Co where the drama started.

Wimmin's Movement up in arms as the Judge slammed the complainant and deliciously the hack who wrote the tale. Spotted him only last week at a do..has become shockingly arrogant since I helped him up the ladder many years ago.

Complainant says she only complained to Theater Co expecting it to go no further..yeh sure. No-one in Theater gossips.

Bad timing for all involved (except Rush) as Heir Apparent Lachlan Murdoch arrives in town for a few years. They say he's grown into a fiercer version of Rupert. Heads will roll.
