Comments

Charles Firth of The Chaser and lawyer Michael Bradley of Marque Law talk about the disturbing use of defamation actions to stop comedians, satirists and commentators. Do we need a legal defence fund for the comedians? We talk about Australia's thin-skinned politicians and Australia as the defamation capital of the world.   https://chaser.com.au/ https://theshot.net.au/ https://www.marquelawyers.com.au/   Email us: loosecannonpod@gmail.com
