    Default What is defamation?

    Firstly, thank you to FionaK for directing me to this site some time ago.

    For those who have always wondered, this site gives a great explanation of defamation as it applies in Australia: http://www.uow.edu.au/arts/sts/bmart...efamation.html

    Happy reading!

    oooh thanks eilleen
    can i add (without having read the article yet - just skimmed it)
    that currently all states have their own defamation laws
    and ours up here (qld) does not consider truth to be an adequate defense, one needs to prove that it was in the public interest as well
    apparently (from a chat i had with a lawyer over at the aus idol forums) they are working to change that
