another lawyer's picnic

Comrades,

Here's another lawyer's picnic:

"a complex and expensive area of law", eh?

"Defending a court action for defamation cost between about $100,000 and $1.1 million".
WTF?

"Defamation lawyer Matt Collins, QC, said Australia's laws were now "a Frankenstein's monster"'.

Crikey!
Good thing no-one reads my blog[s].
I could be done for a shit load of cash.
Shhhh!
