Russell Manser lived a life of crime and built a criminal career off robbing banks during the 80s and early 90s. This eventually led him to prison, serving up to 23 years. But there is more to Russell's story than a life behind bars. Russell experienced sexual abuse at a young age whilst at several boys' homes. Thirty years later he provided evidence to Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in 2014 and now tells his survivor story.

Hello everyoneAndrew Jaspan is the founder of The Conversation and the “force of nature” behind a new news startup called 360info. 360info is conducting a closed trial right now, but will open for business in the new year.In the podcast this week Jaspan reveals his thinking behind what is best described as an academic wire service, or news agency. While playing in the same space as The Conversation, which he began in 2011, his new venture avoids going head-to-head with it.Yes, 360info is a research-fuelled content creator based at a university (Monash), using journalists to decipher the obtuse language of the academy. But as you'll hear in the interview, unlike The Conversation, 360info does not provide a direct-to-public site or interface, instead distributing articles and graphics through a content management system (CMS) to partner publications. Anyone can partner, provided they abide by the Creative Commons rules associated with the content.I really enjoyed meeting Jaspan. I think you'll appreciate his experience and how he comes at the problem of providing information to the masses. I wrote about 360info at length for The Spinoff, and the CM interview with CEO of The Conversation Lisa Watts is also highly relevant.Pinging the trollsThe ANZ media atmosphere has been thick with good media stories of late. In Australia, there is the fascinating development of Social Media (Anti-Trolling) Bill 2021, an early draft of which has just been released by the government. It's not long - 23 pages - and it's pretty straightforward, or at least seems to be.The bill completely reverses the situation created by the High Court decision in the Dylan Voller case, where news companies were held to be the publishers of third-party comments on their social media pages. You will remember the case caused global headlines and furrowed the Crawford Media brow for a couple of weeks. Being “the publisher” means you are responsible for defamatory comments made by people you don't control on a platform you don't own. It didn't seem right.This law is super clear: “An Australian person who maintains or administers a page of a social media service is taken to not be a publisher of a third part comment posted on the page”. Instead, the proposed new law flips it so that social media companies are the publishers of comments, with several defences available to them to avoid being on the hook for every idiot's utterances.I think I should go back to the razor sharp Hannah Marshall for comment on this one.Bye for now,Hal This is a public episode.

Columbia Journalism Review LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN HOY El fallo de difamación australiano amenaza a las empresas de medios Por Mathew Ingram 30 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2021 A PRINCIPIOS DE ESTE MES , un tribunal australiano emitió una decisión en un caso de difamación de larga duración de Dylan Voller, quien, en 2017, presentó una demanda contra varios medios de comunicación australianos, incluidos The Australian y Sky News , propiedad de Murdoch , por comentarios hechos en sus páginas de Facebook por otros usuarios de Facebook. De hecho, la corte australiana dijo que los medios de comunicación son legalmente responsables de los comentarios que sus lectores dejan en respuesta a las publicaciones, comparándolos con "los editores de esos comentarios" por su participación en "facilitar, alentar y, por lo tanto, ayudar a la publicación de comentarios por parte de terceros". -fiesta de usuarios de Facebook ". En su fallo , el tribunal agregó que un intento de las empresas de medios de presentarse como "víctimas pasivas e involuntarias de la funcionalidad de Facebook" no era creíble: "Habiendo tomado medidas para asegurar el beneficio comercial de la funcionalidad de Facebook, los apelantes cargan con las consecuencias legales". https://www-cjr-org.translate.goog/the_media_today/australian-defamation-ruling-threatens-media-companies.php? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/on-air-ediciones/message
This week we turn to two burning issues around social media. The first being the now toxic environment for journalists on twitter and we also look at the fall out from Dylan Voller defamation case. Our host Monica Attard was joined this week by Kishor-Napier-Raman and Michael Roddan.
In this episode, the Wigs are joined by solicitors Peter O'Brien and Stewart O'Connell to discuss the recent High Court decision about the liability of media outlets for things posted by other users in the comments on the media outlets' Facebook pages. Peter and Stewart act for the plaintiff in the defamation proceedings, Dylan Voller. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hello everyoneLast week I mentioned the Australian High Court decision in the Dylan Voller defamation case, and how it was freaking a lot of people out. The High Court found that three news organisations being sued for defamation were in fact the publishers of comments attached to their posts in Facebook, despite the fact they didn't write them, approve them, or possibly even know of their existence. News of the decision has spread all over the world. In many cases, it is being taken as evidence of the bizarre state of things digital in the Antipodes: first the government legislates to force a transfer of cash from Facebook and Google to news, then the nation's highest court rules that you are responsible for other peoples' comments on social media.In my newsletter last week, I said the High Court justices “got it wrong”. Well, I discovered it's not as simple as that. The first step for me was to read the 71-page decision, and the second was to speak to someone knowledgeable. The good news is that Australia's legal destiny is not in the hands of fools: even in my layman's reading of the case, I could see that the decision to hold the three news companies responsible was historically consistent (they are Sky News, News Corp, and Fairfax). That being said, there were two dissenting judges, and the dissenters' arguments were convincing.I wrote about the matter for The Spinoff, and concluded that the majority High Court view made legal sense but not practical sense. The problem lies not with the High Court so much as with defamation law itself. In both Australia and New Zealand it's horrible, used by entitled people to intimidate the media and suppress information, knowing that to defend a case is beyond the budget of many operators. Now the risk of being sued for defamation is spilling out of news media and into the wider public, as everyone creates content for digital networks. There is nothing inherent in the High Court ruling that protects everyday users from being the “publishers” of other people's comments on their posts. Ignorance and lack of nasty intention are no defence. To quote the majority decision:“A publisher's liability does not depend upon their knowledge of the defamatory matter which is being communicated or their intention to communicate it.”The good news is that defamation law is currently being reformed in Australia, via legislation, and there have already been big changes for the better. In most Australian states there is now a protection against trivial claims and a “public interest” defence for serious journalism. The issue of responsibility for third-party content on digital networks will be covered in the next round of reform, which is happening right now.Hannah Marshall, a partner at Marque Lawyers in Sydney, provided me with a calm and extremely knowledgeable take on the High Court decision. If you are publishing anything, you need to listen to this week's podcast and get Marshall's insights into the implications of the decision. She describes Australia as “the defamation capital of the world”, which gives you an indication of why you should be paying attention.

A recent ruling in Australia that saw media companies liable for defamatory posts on their social media pages could see businesses in New Zealand switch off comments, or shut down their pages altogether. Last week's case was part of action being taken by former Northern Territory detainee, Dylan Voller, who is seeking to sue several media outlets for comments made about him on Facebook by members of the public. Experts say it's only a matter of time before a similar case is tested here, and all companies need to smarten up. Emma Hatton reports.
How could the High Court media defamation ruling affect social media use? And, are changes to NT youth bail laws fit for purpose?
