Can I Say That? A Guide to Defamation Law


This presentation was produced for the session 'Can I Say That? A guide to Defamation Law' presented at the conference.

The session aimed to answer the questions:

  • Can I defame someone if it's true?

  • What if I don't name anyone?

  • What if I read out something from the paper?

  • How does defamation insurance work?



Defamation law is notoriously difficult but it's an essential area of knowledge for any radio of television broadcaster or station manager.

The session was presented by epresentatives of TressCox Lawyers.
The material in this slideshow has been produced by TressCox Lawyers and has been prepared as general information about defamation law in Australia. It is not intended to provide legal advice and, as such, the content of the material in this slideshow does not constitute legal advice. Further professional advice should be sought before any action is taken in relation to the matters set out in this slideshow.
