Lange

The case was one of the earliest in a series of cases in which the High Court found implied rights in the Constitution. This trend reached a high-point in Theophanous v Herald and Weekly Times Ltd, which found that the implied right to freedom of political communication could be used as a defence in a defamation action. Although that is no longer the case, the limited right to freedom of communication remains.

Are you sure this is strictly correct? since Lange, you are still allowed a defence of qualified privilege in a defamation action with regard to political matters, even if it is a publication to the world at large. At least, that is my understanding of Lange.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.167.87.32 (talk • contribs) 01:53, 10 September 2005.
