Good thing that what you 'know' is restricted to NZ and maybe the USA.
Truth most cerrtainly in NOT an absolute defence to libel in Australia
and a court here has ruled that stuff published on the Web can be used
as a basis for court action in Australia regardless of the country of
origin of the article.

Not that I'm saying anything one way or another as to the merits or
otherwise of this.......
