There are various defences to defamation – the most common and obvious one is the defence of substantial truth. If a statement or writing is said to be defamatory, but is shown to be true or substantially true, then that provides a complete defence to any damages action for the defamation.
Even when a statement is not true at all, defences are still available in certain circumstances. For example, when a statement is made in a privileged circumstance such as during the course of parliamentary proceedings or in a court or a tribunal or hearing then the privilege will defeat the defamation claim.
If the defamatory statements are contained in a public document or a fair report of any proceedings of public concern and are published honestly for the information of the public or the advancement of education, then that constitutes a complete defence to the defamation action.
If the maker of the defamatory statement can prove that it was reasonably made for the purposes of providing information to a person with a legitimate interest in the subject, and provided they were not acting maliciously, they will be protected from defamation action. Various other defences include honest opinion, innocent dissemination and triviality, which can all be raised in defence of actions for damages for defamation.
