The implications of the Siouxsie Wiles employment case

From Nights, 10:18 pm on 9 July 2024

The Employment Court yesterday found University of Auckland breached its contractual obligations to protect the health and safety of microbiologist Dr Siouxsie Wiles.

Dr Wiles alleged the university failed to protect her from a "tsunami of threats" she received for her public commentary on the Covid-19 pandemic.

Emile Donovan speaks to leading employment lawyer Barbara Buckett who explains the ins and outs of the case and talks about the ramifications of the ruling.
