I think that has to be underscored, because there's a real attempt here to pervert what's at issue. We have the courts that determine libel and slander. That is their domain. The concern is that for $1,000 you can silence anybody. And that's all it will take for years, because if you launch a frivolous and vexatious lawsuit--it will cost you $1,000--you can shut an MP up on any specific issue.
