I am glad to see these amendments being made. I would like to see a review within the next few years, particularly of areas such as defamation of the dead. There are many cases where dead people have been defamed. The family that has been left behind must cope with this and must deal with the often scurrilous articles in the media. We could revisit that area when the Minister re-examines it within the next five years.
