The truth hurts.

Heres let's read it again, Phil. And this time, put yourself in the
defendants shoes and try them on for size.

The Commonwealth offence of 'Using a carriage service to menace, harass or
cause offence' contrary to Section 474.17 of the Commonwealth Criminal Code
Act 1995 may also be applicable. All state and territory police have the
authority and power to charge a person with a Commonwealth offence.

Proceeding with an investigation or prosecution is determined by the state
or territory police officer handling your matter. He/She has to examine the
evidence and be satisfied an offence exists and is worth prosecuting.

The case officer is welcome to contact the AHTCC if they require any
assistance or advice with aspects of the case, and they can also seek advice
and assistance from their police computer crime team.

Online harassment is generally undertaken to promote fear or uncertainty and
to provoke a response. You can reduce your exposure to online harassment by
staying away from websites where the perpetrator can communicate with you.
It is also important to always be vigilant about personal security.

The AHTCC works cooperatively with relevant agencies in Australia and
overseas to reduce the incidence and impact of such activity.

Defamation
Defamation involves the publication of material that tends to injure the
personal, professional, and trade or business reputation of an individual or
a company, to expose them to ridicule or to cause people to avoid them.

While the AHTCC appreciates that defamation involving the use of computers
and the Internet can cause distress, you are advised to seek independent
legal advice regarding avenues and access to remedies.
