英语一日谈:你怎么看待David Jones性骚扰案中$37million的赔偿要求? - 2010.10.18

Australia's biggest sexual harassment case settled over the weekend. The 37Million dollars claim comes down to a $850,000 payout.

The DJ case has given rise to some hot topics. I came across this thread on Vogue (http://forums.vogue.com.au/showthread.php?t=364537) when I was following the case and found the questions popped out for discussion were quite interesting and generated heated discussion. Therefore I want to share them with you and hear what you people think about them:

1. would this case stop you buying things from DJs?

2. what do you think about the amount of $37Million claimed, as punishment beyond general compensation damages.  Outrageous or courageous? Do you think the figure was played well? Do you think the desired message, if any, got across or was quickly forgotten?

3. do you believe that Kristy Fraser Kirk will donate the monay to charities after pay off her legal fees, as she said?

FYI, one interesting observation by an ABC reporter (source: http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2010/s3040154.htm):

“Yesterday during the Commission, when they left at lunch time, Kristy Fraser Kirk came out. She was crying, she looked very stressed. She was surrounded by her parents and her boyfriend. When, of course, the media pack were chasing her down the street she looked quite rattled.

Mark McInnes, when he left, was smiling, looked relaxed, was happy - not happy that the media were following him but didn't seem stressed that the media were following him when he got into the car at lunch time.”
