Geoffrey Rush wins at least $850,000 in defamation trial against News Corp – as it happened

And with that, we’ll be wrapping up the liveblog today. The summary: Geoffrey Rush has been awarded at least $850,000 – rising to millions – over a series of articles printed by the Daily Telegraph. Justice Michael Wigney said the articles conveyed the imputations that Rush was “a pervert”, “a sexual predator” and “committed sexual assault in a theatre” during a production of King Lear in 2015-16. The Telegraph’s defence of truth failed.

Good for him. News Corp is vile.

Thanks Geoffrey! You are the only man whose steel has not turned into chalk! Perhaps now the 'girls' will think before you open your mouth, but not sure. Geoffrey ✊️

Fantastic news.
