While we are eagerly awaiting the recommendations of the Defamation Working Party in relation to “Stage 2” of the defamation law reforms, and with the spectre of the Commonwealth government’s Social Media (Anti-Trolling) Bill still looming large (pending the election result), a panel of some of Australia’s pre-eminent defamation experts will have a robust discussion about the various options for addressing defamation on digital platforms.

The Panel:

Jake Blundell, Banki Haddock Fiora
Sue Chrysanthou SC, 153 Phillip Barristers
Matthew Lewis, Level 22 Chambers
David Rolph, University of Sydney
Marlia Saunders, Thomson Geer
Andrew Stewart, Baker + McKenzie
