Show Notes
State governments across the country are changing defamation provisions. The laws haven’t been updated since 2005, when Facebook was still a frat house idea, and Twitter didn’t even exist.
John-Paul Cashen from Thomson Geer Lawyers joins us to explain what the new laws mean for everyday Australians. Will they stifle, or encourage free speech?
Today’s episode is an ‘explainer’ – a chance to dive deeper into the new laws determining what you can say about others, in the media and online.
