Chantelle Baker ordered to pay $100k bond ahead of defamation case against Stuff

A High Court judge has ordered right-wing activist Chantelle Baker to pay a $100,000 bond ahead of a defamation case against Stuff for its disinformation documentary Fire and Fury.

Baker claims she was defamed in statements made in the documentary by Stuff and Kate Hannah, the founder and former director of The Disinformation Project, who was interviewed in the documentary.

Last year Stuff filed an application for security for costs, after alternative news website Centrist announced it was backing Baker in her legal proceedings.

Security for costs is a payment of money made to the court by a plaintiff, to ensure they will be able to pay costs to the defendant(s) if they are unsuccessful.

“Overall, while acknowledging the case is at an early stage, my assessment is that Ms Baker will face difficulties establishing her claims against the defendants,” Judge Skelton said.

Judge Skelton said while he couldn’t say Baker’s claim was “entirely without merit”, there was a reasonable likelihood that costs may ultimately be ordered against her.

…hahahhahahahahahahha.

Look, the middle class docudrama, Fire and Fury, was a crime against public broadcasting in that it played to the prejudice of its middle class audience who were pearl clutching that their privilege was challenged because of ‘Nazis’.

Fire and Fury helped feed the culture war resentment, it didn’t understand it, but to pretend that they defamed an anti-vaxxers grifter like Chantelle Baker is an even bigger joke.

Baker is the daughter of religious fanatic and failed politician, Leighton Baker. She is a social media darling of the alt-Right and she is Cuture War Billionaire Jim Grenon’s pet project.

He helped Chantelle fund her ‘defamation’ case against NZME, an organisation he’s just taken over!

The alt-Right have more incest than your average Game of Thrones episode.

Let us pray.

Dear Jesus.

Please let Chantelle set up a Pledge Me account to pay her court costs.

Thank you Jesus.
