From michaelwest.com.au: Michael West Media is involved in a defamation case initiated by Department of Parliamentary Services researcher Geoff Wade against the publication and its author, with a defence filed in response to the claims.

MWM raised over $48,000 through crowdfunding to support its legal expenses and asserts that the lawsuit is vexatious.

During a recent Senate Estimates session, Senator David Shoebridge questioned the Department of Parliamentary Services about Wade’s activities related to the lawsuit.
