Aston is being sued by venture capitalist Elaine Stead over a typically snarky column, where she alleges, among other things, she was made to look “cretinously stupid”.

A fascinating subplot to next week’s impending Federal Court showdown was teased out in The Australian’s Media Diary this morning.
