| Message | We have no problem with the ability to recover for false information, but defamatory opinions are an area in which we believe freedom of speech prevails. If I wish to say that all red haired left handed people are ugly, that is my opinion and I have a right to say it, even though it makes me sound like an idiot. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
