:::::::::No witch hunt. In the original version it was claimed that a muslim woman was in tears when she offered to walk with her. In the confession version on fairfax it was revealed Quote-Unquote "While the woman appeared to appreciate my gesture, we had both left defeated and deflated. What good is one small action against an avalanche of ignorance?" So there was no crying, tears of overwhelming joy, it was a fantasy. In fact the story even questions whether she was even a muslim. As to the political affiliation by a reliable source, that's not a problem. Here it is herehttp://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/how-illridewithyou-began-with-rachael-jacobs-experience-on-a-brisbane-train-20141216-128205.html "Rachael Jacobs is a lecturer in Education at the Australia Catholic University in Brisbane. She was the Greens candidate for the seat of Brisbane in 2013." Let's add it back into the article for balance. No witch hunt here... just disclosure which for whatever reason you don't want to have happen.
