irmed an earlier decision that said publishers were responsible for defamatory third-party comments posted on their social media accounts. While the laws are under review in Australia, and may change, we’ve have made the decision to switch off comments on most of our Facebook and Instagram posts in the meantime. These changes do not restrict readers from sharing and commenting on our journalism on their own pages, either directly or by sharing a post from our page. We also encourage readers to follow us on Twitter and use the hash-tag to join the conversation, or email direct feedback to our audience editor at [email protected].
