Icebergs餐厅创始人Maurice Terzini在新南威尔士州最高法院对Nine传媒及其前妻Emma Addams提起诉讼，指控双方违反隐私法披露了其私人信息。[1]据称Nine传媒在去年6月通过《60分钟》节目及《悉尼晨报》和《年代报》报道了相关内容，披露范围包括短信、财务状况和婚姻纠纷等敏感信息。[1]
该案将成为澳大利亚新隐私法的首批测试案例之一，其核心争议在于记者豁免权的界定。[1]根据隐私法规定，因严重侵害隐私而提起的损害赔偿诉讼中，非经济损失最高赔偿额为52万澳元，但豁免权的适用取决于所称报道是否构成"新闻材料"。[1]初步听证会定于8月31日进行。[1]
Maurice Terzini, founder of the Icebergs restaurant, has filed suit in the New South Wales Supreme Court against Nine media and his ex-wife Emma Addams, alleging violations of Australia's privacy laws through the disclosure of his personal information [1]. The claims relate to reports published in June last year by Nine through the program 60 Minutes and the newspapers The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, which Terzini contends improperly revealed private communications, financial details, and information about his marital disputes [1].
The case is expected to serve as one of the first significant tests of Australia's updated privacy legislation, with a central dispute centering on the scope of journalist exemptions [1]. Under the privacy law, individuals may seek damages for serious invasions of privacy, with non-economic losses capped at 520,000 Australian dollars [1]. The determination of whether the journalists' reporting qualifies as "news material" and therefore falls under an exemption will prove crucial to the outcome [1]. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 31 [1].
