Federal Court judge Lindsay Foster has rejected an appeal against an Australian Communications & Media Authority (ACMA) ruling, sought by Seven West Media. ACMA had sided with offshore services provider Mermaid Marine, after that firm lodged a complaint about Seven Network. The free-to-air TV group’s "Sunday Night" had accused the captain of a Mermaid vessel of "murder and cowardice", when he decided conditions were too severe to come to the aid of another ship in the Gulf of Mexico
