Isaac, you are correct with the law situation. Defamation as a civil law means the claimant must show that they have suffered some form of ACTUAL loss or damages as a result of the printed word, be it mental stress, financial loss etc. A "reckless disregard to the truth" is covered under these laws. The classic example is where someone say had a criminal conviction as a youth. After 10 years of no subsequent convictions, these offenses become "spent convictions" and X does not need to reveal these misdemeaners.
Now, let's say that person (X) has moved on in their life and let's say that Person Y has a vendetta against X and reveals that X had a conviction for offending as an 18 yo. As a consequence of those revelations, X is sacked from their job, booted off this that and the other, and has their membership of the Adelaide Club revoked.
Even though what Y revealled was true, they did so recklessly knowing there would be consequences and in doing so caused ACTUAL damages to X. Consequently, X may sue Y for ACTUAL loss.

Hey nosy, you're not making a whole lotta sense with your line about the Olympics... Atlanta was generally bagged as being pretty poor as well... but more importantly, to argue that most Olympics are successful, therefore Olympics are easy to run is just retarded.

In any case, if earlier rumours reported on this site are true, there is good reason for Mal to take on a different job as he is about sell the Sixers to Seamus anyway!

Murray, Murray, Murray,
Just because Media Mike has appointed him doesn't mean he won't take an active interest as an owner.
Plenty of people own busnesses and don't take a day to day active role in their running. Just because you own the Sixers doesn't mean that you need to count the pens and pencils in the stationery cupboard!

If you were offered a highly paid government job, wouldn't you take it?
