Christopher Pyne should probably release a hit single soon or flash a mother if he's going to survive another year in politics without people simply walking up to him on the street and swatting him with a dirty glove He said the piece should never have run but offered no explanation why it had remained on the site since Monday.
Professor Kenyon believes the law needs to evolve to reflect the digital revolution and emerging ways of communicating. There is a lot of public communication that I do not think should necessarily be dealt with under traditional defamation law. Professor Kenyon says a change should be made to the traditional legal presumption that if material is defamatory your reputation has been harmed. If you called a person a crook or incompetent in their profession on the front page of a newspaper people would think less of them.
I don't know that a person's reputation is actually harmed in the same way any more. Professor Kenyon said in England there is now a threshold that to be defamatory and actionable there has to be "substantial harm" to reputation.

How very Victoria today: politics above the public. It comes back to this idea of what does an arts company do? Is it part of the national conversation about who we are as a people? The US on Saturday launched a war ship named after a gay rights campaigner who preyed on a year-old runaway. No wonder China's leaders think they can win a war with the US. In fact, whispering in the ear of China's dictator is a man who decades ago wrote of rot in Western culture that's making us stupid, selfish and disastrously weak.
