On Friday, 11 February, Fairfax newspapers ran untrue and malicious stories about me which were entirely without foundation and which Justice Garling of the New South Wales Supreme Court described as ‘disgracefully misleading’. These stories were published despite the fact that I have commenced defamation proceedings against Fairfax. I will continue to energetically pursue Fairfax for substantial aggravated damages for the harm its journalists have done to both me and my family.
