Model Defamation Amendment (Digital Intermediaries) Provisions 2023

Defamation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025

This bill modernises Queensland's defamation laws to address the realities of online publishing. It implements nationally agreed reforms that create clearer rules for when online platforms, search engines, internet service providers, and forum administrators can be held liable for defamatory content posted by their users. It also makes it safer to report matters to police by extending absolute privilege to those reports.
