CWU UPDATE

[LouBarlow]

No it’s not!

Libel and defamation cases are an expensive process - and to prove defamation (libel is spoken word) the party bringing the case would have to prove “serious harm” was caused to the reputation of the person(s)/party(s) involved.

So for starters, in this scenario any case brought would need to prove that this parody statement could have been believed to have been an actual statement by the CWU be a significant proportion of the union’s membership.

There is therefore very little prospect of a defamation case, if brought, being successful in this instance - especially as a high ranking member of the CWU commented that it was “very funny!”

TLDR; you’re talking dinkum!

Libel and defamation cases are expensive, but the union have the money to fund such a case, if they so wish. I didn’t say they *would* seek legal action, more that you should be aware that you can leave yourself open to it by posting such content. It would be a particularly bad look if a union leader took a member to court anyway. I’m glad it was taken in jest either way.

Nothing to do with us or this site.

If it's online (in the public domain) and we post it on here whoever made it, its their problem.

Obviously it's a joke. I have faked LTB's on here for comedy value.
