An Australian federal court rules that James Cook University unlawfully sacked Professor Peter Ridd for questioning his colleagues' claims about the Great Barrier Reef. The judge found that the university's gag orders and censures contravened Ridd's right to free intellectual expression. Ridd, a lifelong environmentalist, maintains that the reef is in "fantastic shape" and is one of the best-preserved ecosystems in the world.

Ridd argues that coral bleaching is a natural phenomenon and that corals in warmer waters actually grow faster. He claims that much of the alarmism surrounding the reef's health is based on flawed scientific data.
