    Episode 4: Rebel Wilson v MacInnes: The Bathtub Defamation Case

    Send us Fan Mail In Episode 4 of Yeah, Nah, Your Honour, host Samantha Lee and expert defamation lawyer Stewart O'Connell (O'Brien Solicitors) break down the Rebel Wilson v MacInnes case — a Hollywood defamation battle involving a Bondi Beach swim, a bathtub encounter, and a storm of Instagram posts. We unpack how the Federal Court determines defamatory meaning, the "ordinary reasonable reader" test, the serious harm threshold, and why truth is the ultimate defence. Plus: why defamation trials can backfire on everyone involved, the risks of taking your case to court, and what the Lehrmann and Roberts-Smith sagas teach us about reputation on trial. Yeah or nah? You decide. Support the show

    Episode 2: TikTok vs. The Law: When a Junior Lawyer's Burnout Post Went Viral

    Send us Fan Mail A Melbourne junior lawyer posts a TikTok about her soul-sucking first job — no names, no clients, just a vent about burnout. A week later, she's sacked. In this episode of Yeah, Nah, Your Honour, Sam Lee and Khushaal Vyas break down whether trash-talking your employer on social media is a sackable offence or just a young lawyer having a very public whinge. They dig into the duty not to denigrate your employer, where a "mere grumble" crosses the line, and what rights you actually have when it comes to complaining about work online. From implied obligations to general protections, this is essential listening for anyone who's ever wanted to rant about their job on the internet. Support the show

    Episode 1 - Gina Rinehart has no boundaries

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when Australia's richest person and a disability pensioner clash over a 12-kilometre fence? In this debut episode of Yeah, Nah, Your Honour, Sam and Josh unpack a real fencing dispute between mining billionaire Gina Rinehart and rural property owner Kathy Pope — and what it reveals about the cracks in Australia's legal system. From a verbal agreement that fell apart to a self-represented litigant navigating the Supreme Court alone, this case is part rural drama, part access-to-justice wake-up call. They break down why starting your legal claim in the wrong place can cost you everything, why verbal agreements are risky business, and how one pro bono lawyer changed the entire trajectory of the dispute.
