That depends upon where one is, but more where the case is heard. Lawyers tend forum shop with this sort of stuff. I don't need clueing up (not about this anyway), but thank you for your concerns I have honestly held opinions and the matter is of public interest as it relates to valid concerns around public organisatio, an organisation that purports to represent motorcyclists in Victoria.. ie MRA Vic/MRAA. If people still attempt to 'try it on' then I have the resources to defend that view in court if needed, and I would do so if required. e-mail or newsgroup doesn't make much difference *shrug* G-S
It was less of a sucess than it has been in past years, and other toy runs have started up because of the shortcomings that the central Melbourne toy run suffers from. If (as you say) DC did organise it (and I have no information one way or the other), then he is responsible for that. If he did not, then he is not. It's a 'buck stops there' sort of job Nev... G-S
No my good friend, in sunny victoria is where it's the least able to be used. Seriously. Vic is the preferred Aussie forum for defamation cases. There was even an attempt by one Aussie (i forget who but someone infamous), to get a case heard in Oz for a publication by a US newspaper because it was available electronically and hence "could have been read" by people in Victoria. I think he lost that one on jurisdiction, but the reason he wanted it heard here was because he'd have won in Vic, but not in the US (where the truth IS a defence). JL
I have no stated opinion on DC. You, on the other hand, want him stripped of his life membership of an organisation because he "might" (or might not) have used "illegal" (or legal) means to get your email address and send you some emails... Nev.. '03 ZX12R
Nonono. Jurisdiction shopping does go on, but the truth can be used as a defence in Vic. Trust me on this one. - sanbar
Nope you think DC is a top bloke in fact, I think you want to have his children. You have implied it many a time how much good he has done for the mra. I have said he has been a destablising influence and the email campaign was one example of that. Others have said why as well so have a go at them will you Nev cos u r failing to piss me off when i have a giggle at what you come up with.
That sounds awfully close to sedition there John. If you were to suddenly disappear, would you like me to look after your bikes for you? N.B. not the cars, nor the women, just the bikes. regards, CrazyCam (who knows his limitations)

It's only for those of Middle Eastern Appearance who dress funny, and the yellow skinned ones we don't much like (as distinct from the yellow skinned ones we have a big trade imbalance with). Zebee

sanbar said.... Your name's John Howard, is it? I s'pose that this is a good time to revisit that old joke, just in case there's a miniscule chance that there are people here who've not heard it before.. The 3 greatest lies of all time: 1. Trust me, I'm a doctor 2. I'm from the government. I'm here to help you. 3. I promise that I won't come in your mouth...
G-S said.... Email on its way regarding this issue. Note here in case your email address listed here is a spamtrap one...
No, was Yossel "Joe" Gutnick sueing Barron's Magazine/Dow Jones over an article that appeared online. The article linked the Gutnick name to alleged tax evasion and money laundering in Israel. Gutnick made a successful argument that an online article is "published" where it is read, therefore something that is hosted on a US web server but read online in .au is considered to be "published" in .au. And defamation laws only require that one person recognise the subject of the alleged defamatory statements to make it actionable, even if the other 2^x people walking this earth don't. Or something like that. - sanbar (charged, but never convicted!)
Smee said.... Have you posted regularly on any of the yahoogroups melb.moto or Netrider or MRA_Forum? If so, he probably harvested your email from there. I ended up putting his email address in my spam filter. He would flood the forums with multiple repeats of his messages, and have a CC list as long as the electoral roll...
