Gotta ask, all the people claiming bullshit in this thread, are any of you Australian? Live in Australia?
Our government pretty much paints the picture of Political Correctness gone too far. This news isn't the least bit surprising. Soon enough sayings like "G'day mate" will be filed under racism or some other bullshit.
I think you've failed to grasp the reasons people are calling bullshit. Its nothing to do with living in Australia, its that the OP posted a disingenuous title and content without fully articulating the content of the article, which states that its not the alleged act of unfriending that was bullying, rather the previous actions of the alleged bully that led up to the unfriending qualified the final act as also a bullying tactic. The OP did not mention the part where it said the mere act of unfriending was not in and of itself bullying but rather the entire context.
And here's where I segue into context. Context, people, is vital to sharing information about a news piece. By snipping away the actual context of an article, report or even cherry-picking a quote without context is the worst form of journalism possible.
Nice try OP, but next time read your sources better before you fly off the handle and attempt to cause social backlash with an out of context, cherry-picked quote.
