How is calling Paul McCartney a lowlife piece of excrement libel/slander d/h ?

Its an opinion you twit
In an attempt to help Chief out of you doing some serious damage in the future...

Australia doesn't have libel or slander, we have defamation, since the Defamation Act in 2005 removed and replaced the other terms. They are still used in other countries however.

Written defamation involves defamatory statements made in writing, or in ‘permanent form’. This can include communications such as emails and group messages or publications such as books, online posts or news articles.

For a defamation claim to be successful, the plaintiff needs to prove:
  • Publication
  • That a third party saw or heard the publication
  • That the publication caused reputational damage
You don't get a free pass for 'having an opinion'. If the above criteria have been met, it is defamation.

There is however a 'truth' defence, which came into play in the defamation case involving Roberts-Smith and alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.

I'm laughing at the right now. Especially when I'm thinking about Geelong Dynasty and his hundreds upon hundreds of notifications he'll come back to!

I honestly am struggling to think of why Geelong Dynasty would be getting so many notifications. Surely they are checking in often and clearing them?
 
Well Florent ends up at Carlton without part of the Curnow trade.

A couple of Cotton On Posters have egg on their faces (yet again) 🥚 🐣 🍳

stalking social media pages of players is beyond pathetic, well done "primewalsh"

Journos do it all the time tbh

No need to melt about it.

it's pathetic if journalists do it, but sports journalism isn't exactly valuable so it makes sense
 
Charlie taking a million dollar pay cut just to get away from Carlton…. Lolololololol.
Ollie Florent not reading the room here
 
Maybe, still isn't libel or slander though Dr Phil
Firstly, Dr Phil is a psychologist who offers free advice on big decisions in people's lives. If you think that's what I did earlier you indeed are dumb.

Secondly, I took the time to explain why the terms libel and slander have no legal meaning in Australia and that what matters is called defamation. I also explained when defamation has occurred.

But here you are still pretending you live in America or somewhere other than Australia and insisting that what matters is about libel and slander.

You can lead a donkey to water but you can't make it drink.
