Read here about defamation if you are concerned about speculating online : http://www.law.uts.edu.au/comslaw/factsheets/defamation.html
Personally, I find it of little concern. You'd have a hard job showing XYZ poster on websleuths damaged his reputation versus the known circumstances and (careful) media coverage.
Yes good point.
It's funny, I happened to be talking to a minister from my mother's church this morning, and the topic of Allison's funeral came up (because of other matters) and she was spontaneously voicing the exact same opinions that have made people here worried about defamation. And I'm pretty sure she doesn't hang around on crime forums.
If they want to sue anyone for defamation, they'd better be prepared to take on the whole population of south-east Queensland, and a good chunk of the rest of Australia and the world too, because everyone is saying the same thing!
