Piper ( the US half of the beauty queens if anyone remembers in My Kitchen Rules) has won a court case and is now going to be paid $475 per week. Not sure how long for. It’s for psychological injury. Pisses me off a bit, as most people have to be half dead before they would get anything like$ 22k @ year - which that equates too.

Had to google, I remember now. She was awful. I know it’s mostly editing but I really wonder how they think they’re going to end up looking on national TV? It’s hard to claim ignorance after so much reality TV? Having said that, I’ve no doubt she probably is psychologically damaged, TV probably has a responsibility to them, and let’s face it, they can afford it. She made lots of money for channel 7.

I found this article but I didn’t really understand it. It sounds like Seven is going to appeal though? https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/reality-tv/seven-ordered-to-pay-former-mkr-contestant-425-per-week-compensation-for-psychological-injury/news-story/1bfeda1ced8889f511a97aa85c20cfeb

Good on her. Networks make millions by deliberately making some of these people appear evil for mass entertainment. Then they try to lock them in as non employees to avoid any obligation for their welfare. Seven settled to avoid fairwork finding she was an employee. I hope more people do this and someone doesn’t settle.
