PS Just for general reference for the list, I should point out that
under Australian libel law, truth is not a defence. Also that,
unlike America, we have no constitutional right to free speech which
can be used as a defence. The only defences are: if the alleged
libel is committed under Privilege, such as in Parliament or in
court, or if it can be proved to be in the public interest.
