He's the bully truck driver who took to the airwaves to harass an Aussie grandmother. But little did he know of the fight she'd put up.

A southeast Queensland-based security worker who was labelled a "wog", "dago" and "crack whore" on CB radio has won a $5000 payout from her former boss. Gladys Ann Casey, of Eagleby, south of Brisbane, hailed from the former Yugoslavia and complained to the former Anti-Discrimination Commission over offensive comments allegedly made by security business owner Paul St Clair Flanagan. The 65-year-old woman's complaint shone a light on the abusive culture of some UHF/CB radio transmissions, with one witness admitting he had even encouraged his four-year-old daughter to use racially loaded terms. The Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which published its decision this week, heard a range of claims and counter-claims surrounding the use of UHF/CB radio channel seven. "Although Ms Casey found it difficult to present her case in a logical manner, and became easily distracted and unfocused at the hearing, she remained consistent, with her claims Mr Flanagan had referred to her as a 'wog', 'dago', or 'import' along with 'crack whore' or 'slut'," the written decision stated. Mr Flanagan denied he racially vilified or sexually harassed Ms Casey during CB radio conversations, but the tribunal found his claim "difficult to accept" and testimony from supportive witnesses lacked credibility. The tribunal was told Mr Flanagan had previously employed Ms Casey and her son, but fell out with the son in 2008 prior to the alleged abuse. Tribunal member Roxanne Clifford said she believed Mr Flanagan had also encouraged others to breach the Anti-Discrimination Act, a claim he denied. Ms Clifford accepted testimony from one of Ms Casey's friends that Mr Flanagan told people on CB radio "to give Ms Casey shit" after he was issued with a peace and good behaviour order in 2008. A video recording of Ms Casey taken by one of Mr Flanagan's friends was posted on the internet, the tribunal heard. Ms Casey told the tribunal Mr Flanagan's friends broadcast her address on CB radio as a place to obtain sex and on one occasion two men in a truck turned up at her house asking for sex. Ms Casey claims Mr Flanagan‟s friends, and in particular Chris Blume, continued to broadcast her address on the CB Radio as a place to obtain sex and to sexually harass and racially vilify her. Ms Casey states she continued to receive telephone calls requesting sex. Ms Casey claims Mr Flanagan‟s friends, Chris Blume and Glenn Muter have photographed and video-recorded her and her family, including her young granddaughter, and posted the pictures and recordings on either the CB Radio Channel 7 website or on Youtube. "The culture of the CB radio conversations between the parties, witnesses and other users is carried out in an abusive tone with racially vilifying and sexually harassing words and connotations even to the extent one witness encourages his four-year-old daughter to use racially vilifying words," Ms Clifford said. "Whilst many users find this exchange amusing and join in, many users disguise or muffle their voices to avoid identification when being abusive." Ms Clifford said Ms Casey suffered unlawful discrimination and ordered Mr Flanagan to pay $5000 for the pain and humiliation. Mr Flanagan apologised for any stress he had caused.
