In NSW, this area is governed primarily by the Defamation Act 2005 (NSW) (“the Act”). Defamation occurs when something is published, either in writing or verbally or by some other means of communication, and has the effect of or leads to the damaging of a person’s reputation.  The defamation laws are designed to protect a person’s reputation. It allows us to take some action when something with a defamatory imputation is “published” in a range of contexts, including an article, report, advertisement or other thing communicated by means of a newspaper, magazine or other periodical, television, radio, the internet or any other form of electronic communication. It can also occur in the context of a letter, note or other writing, a picture, gesture or something stated orally.
