Because Stinger asked

What is defamation? http://www.artslaw.com.au/legalinformation/Defamation/DefamationLawsAfterJan06.asp For a defamation action to succeed, the person complaining of the defamation (the plaintiff) has to prove three things: that the communication has been published to a third person that the communication identifies (or is about) the plaintiff; and that the communication is defamatory. This should help you: http://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Censor/defamation.html "Defamation is the publication of words or images to a person that damages the reputation of another ['slander' if spoken words, 'libel' if written words or images]. A defamatory statement is one that is likely to cause ordinary, reasonable people to think less of the person about whom the words or images are published. An inference that casts a defamatory imputation is enough to bring an action." 2006 laws were revised Federal Laws: Racial Discrimination Act 1975 Grounds of unlawful discrimination Race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin.
