Theophanous v Herald & Weekly Times Ltd (1994) 182 CLR 104. is a landmark Australian judgment of the High Court. The matter related to implied freedom of political communication that the High Court has inferred, rests in the Australian constitution. The now superseded judgment held that there was an implied Constitutional freedom to publish material discussing government and political matters, and the way that members of the Parliament of Australia conducted their duties and their suitability for office. The court reversed this opinion in Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation where they held that no direct right to free speech could form a defence to defamation. Despite this, the case remains important in the development of the ''implied freedom''. == References == Tony Blacksheild and George Williams, Australian Constitutional Law and Theory 5th Ed. 2010, Federation Press(Sydney), page 1272. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theophanous v Herald & Weekly Times Ltd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
