No, I cannot think of the right answer to that question, one that would not get me into more trouble.

On the question of consent — I am sure the Minister would be able to advise me on this — there is reference in a later section of the Bill to the interaction between the reporter and the person who is defamed. Rather than inserting a defence of consent, I wonder if that later section deals sufficiently with this issue. I note the Minister said the consent would be an informed consent. That is not stated in this section but perhaps it is implied from other laws.
