Give back the Walkley Award, Kate McClymont!

The issue

Given that Kate McClymont's Walkley Award winning article “Thomson: new credit card claims” has been proven false should McClymont have to return the Walkley?

From Independent Australia's article 'Jacksonville 48: What a way to win a Walkley':

"McClymont’s public attacks on Thomson, and the attempts by others to help him raise funds for an adequate defence, do not portray her in a neutral light. To the casual observer, it seems like she is out to get Thomson; to the curious onlooker, it may even make them wonder why she has stuck her neck out so far."
