This is not a defamating post=P

On one fine day on August, something interesting catched my eyes. 'A STUDENT protester has been turning heads on Wellington Rd with his one-man stand against Monash University' (Waverly Leader)..Despite the curiosity,I neither asked around nor tried to find out what was happening..he was there almost everyday in the beginning..then he appeared less frequently after 2 months..i have decided to snap a photo..im not a keen photographer but i cant miss this kinda interesting things right..what surprised me was that he could do that for so long without having any action taken against him from either Monash or the local authority

2 months later i realised i have the photo of him with the sign..still curious on what happened..i looked out on Google (thats what i do everytime i have some random curiosity)..i found out that it was reported as a news on Waverly Leader..

According to the news,

Mr Voutier, who deferred his studies this year, said his protest began when the university refused to enrol him at its Malaysian campus because, he alleged, he was not seen as a “model student”.

“What has happened has completely shocked and bewildered me,” Mr Voutier said.
“I believe everyone on this planet to be equal and if I have a worthy criticism of something I’m going to give it. I’m not going to be belittled or put in the too-hard basket.”
The 48-year-old beekeeper acknowledged he had “minor” disagreements with university staff both at Monash’s Caulfield campus and its Prato campus in Italy.

But he was denied access to documents detailing the reasons behind his refusal, which he had tried to obtain through Freedom of Information laws, and thus his evening peak-hour protest began.

Mr Voutier said he “did not know how to fight the powers” other than through a peaceful protest and a VCAT hearing that is under way.

“One thing is for sure, I’m going to keep this up and give it everything I can,” he said.
A local police officer was asked if Mr Voutier was breaching any laws with his one-man protest.

“Nah, he’s fine. Good luck to him,” the officer said.

The news attracted two comments. One commenters thought that he was wasting his time and could have used his time to 'ask the Uni. how a "model student" should behave, and then do according to the Uni's standard to gain entrance to the Malaysian campus'.

Another commenter admire his courage and thought that he was the one of the very few people who could stand up for what believed was right.

When i decided to post this on my blog i have many concerns..for eg, will Monash sue me for defamation? Will i infringe copyright because i used a pic and information from a news website? This is a sponteneous reaction of a law student..if u think a person can know more of their rights when they do law..it is not entirely right..after learning law we realised that so many things that we may do or have done in our daily life..whether deliberately or recklessly..can constitute offences..hence our lives get retricted by the worries of legal consequences
