Special Provisions
(1) No one is civilly/criminally liable for publishing a substantially true newspaper report of Parliament or State Legislature proceedings, unless done with malice - except for secret-sitting proceedings. (2) This extends equally to broadcast (wireless telegraphy) reporting.
This protects the media's ability to report on what happens in Parliament and state legislatures without fear of being sued or prosecuted, as long as the report is substantially accurate and made in good faith - essential for genuine public accountability and transparency about what elected representatives actually say and do.
This is why a news outlet that publishes a substantially accurate report of a heated Parliament debate - including potentially defamatory statements MPs made during it - generally cannot be sued for those published remarks, as long as the report itself was accurate and not published with malice.
