 Green Left - Cuba: Australian senator's red-baiting and slander   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Humphries said: “It appears that Castro’s cheer squad in Australia is not limited to the Democratic Socialist Party, or DSP, and its youth wing, Resistance.
Humphries also raised the alarm that the NSW branch of the CFMEU was selling in its offices a book on some of the gains of the Cuban Revolution, and that the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) held its 2005 congress at the NSW CFMEU offices.
Humphries’ support for “liberal democracy” apparently does not extend to the right of political parties whose ideology he doesn’t like holding congresses, the right to hear firsthand from a Cuban parliamentarian about the reality inside her country, or the distribution of information on Cuba that doesn’t square with his views.

 ACT Defamation Proposals
In Mr Humphries' discussion paper it was suggested that the establishment of a separate tort of privacy, then being canvassed in the Standing Committee of Attorneys General, would provide a simple process of redress for those whose privacy is invaded.
The Society supports the view of the Mr Humphries' own Community Law Reform Committee in its report on defamation, that the law on this subject should be the same as in New South Wales, at least until there is a statutory right of privacy.
My own view is that to argue, as does Mr Humphries' explanatory memorandum, that "the lack of cases based on the issue of public benefit points to the ineffectual nature of defamation to protect privacy" is specious.
