Magicziggy 25th December 2011, 09:48 PM As an Australian staff member, I could be sued in a South Australian court under our defamation laws should someone decide they have been defamed. A brief trawl of the law leaves me unconcerned by this. Some points I've noted. 1) Australian states and territories have unified the defamation laws although there remain differences in interpretation and available defenses. 2. Definition "Defamation is the publication of words or images to a person that damages the reputation of another ['slander' if spoken words, 'libel' if written words or images]. A defamatory statement is one that is likely to cause ordinary, reasonable people to think less of the person about whom the words or images are published. An inference that casts a defamatory imputation is enough to bring an action. 3. Available defenses i) truth/ justification In some jurisdictions this defense appears to require "in the public interest"...
