Shock as columnist investigated for un-American activity Date: 07/12/2001 Phillip Adams, defender of the rights of man, is in an unexpected spot of bother, Pilita Clark reports. It sounds too strange to be true. Warren Beeby, the group editorial manager of News Ltd, publisher of The Australian newspaper, says he can barely believe it himself. But yesterday he confirmed that one of the paper's better-known columnists, the ABC broadcaster Phillip Adams, is under investigation for alleged racial vilification by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. Adams is such a vigorous opponent of racism, discrimination and all manner of oppression that the Prime Minister once famously urged the ABC to find a "right-wing Phillip Adams" to balance its political output.
