Ms Baynes said she recently had to deal with an incident involving a WhatsApp group between a group of Year 6 girls which was causing problems by stirring up jealousy.

Foreign government officials have been known to express jealousy over his skills, and one prominent economist refers to him as a “national treasure.”

“He’s just unburdened by competitiveness, professional ambition, jealousy. I’ve never met a peer who just actually feels all that stuff that we all wish we felt.”

"Also, the east/west coast beef was mainly ignited by jealousy. It was an ashtray fire fanned into a big deal by media outlets that led to Biggie and Tupac getting killed."

Mr Justice Hilliard, who previously lifted restrictions to allow the identity of MacPhail to be reported, said the "vicious and brutal" attack was motivated by "resentment and jealousy".
