he said.
Meanwhile in a social media statement, the solicitor of Jordan Shanks stated that no damages had or will be paid to Mr Barilaro and no video content published online will be taken down.
“Our client will not be paying a single cent in damages to Mr Barilaro. Not one video will be taken down,”
Mr Davis said.
“Mr Shanks understands that Mr Barilaro has been hurt and apologises to him for that hurt.”
Reports state that the costs from previous court hearings equated to about $100,000 – although none of that will go to the former deputy premier.
