Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
The formula "could be reasonably understood to refer to the member concerned" covers the Minister's argument. Does the wording pitch it in such a way that it refers to the person more than anyone else? All the time people claim all politicians are corrupt. I believe the reasonableness test is already contained in the wording without the need for the words "in particular".
