The High Court decision [1] is a very worthwhile read, with multiple viewpoints presented by the different justices and numerous references to and analysis of relevant cases dating back as far as the early 1900's. It also refers to related recent cases involving defamation and social media.

For this particular case, the decision was originally made by the NSW Supreme Court on 24 June 2019, reaffirmed at the NSW Court of Appeals on 1 June 2020 and again reaffirmed by the High Court of Australia on 8 September 2021.
