In relation to whether the Prime Minister requested any such action, I'm confident that the answer to that is no. In relation to the action that Mr Porter has initiated: as I have said publicly previously, all Australians are treated equally before the law. That includes the rights of all Australians not to be defamed and, if they believe they have been defamed, to take action in relation to those matters. That's what Mr Porter is doing.
