On the flip side, what if the journalist had gotten to the bottom of her motivations and found out she was a racist bogan...there was still nothing to be gained by hanging her out to dry that way. The end result would be the same as it is now. As for identification, that's a non-issue...it happened on live TV, she was identifiable.
The end result wouldn't be the same, we'd have the relevant information we need to digest the incident without the need to ultimately base whatever stance we end up taking on conjecture.
If I knew she was a racist bogan, trust me, we wouldn't be having this conversation mate.
As for the live TV thing, I was watching that game and I still don't know what her face looks like. Might've seen it, but I didn't commit it to memory, who would? It's the papers and news showing her face that cement her identity in peoples minds.
