On the other side, was surgeon Roland von Marburg, an ear, nose and throat specialist, father-of-eight and supporter of the Helpers and Abortion Hurts Albury, a local group that believed most women are forced or coerced into abortion.

Dr Mourik said he wasn't on Facebook, but he received a writ from Dr Marburg because of a post he was accused of backing.

Dr Mourik was the spokesman for a group called Rights to Privacy Albury, which was campaigning to get an exclusion zone outside the Englehardt Street clinic to stop the staging of vigils.

The group had enlisted a student to create a Facebook page where it posted meeting times and shared articles. It also posted photos of the Helpers of God's Precious Infants when the protesters were outside the clinic.

Dr Mourik's group argued that the Helpers were breaching the privacy of the women entering the clinic so it was only fair that the protesters' privacy should also be compromised.

On October 16, a photo of Dr von Marburg was published and, according to a Supreme Court hearing, the following words were posted: "Here is a photo of the only doctor in Albury Wodonga who would stand outside a legal, Women's Health Clinic, violating women's privacy!

"This is, in our opinion, highly unethical ... Women have the right to access any medical service without their privacy being infringed or subject to harassment."

Three people, according to the court, posted derogatory comments about Dr von Marburg beneath the picture. None was posted by Dr Mourik.

Dr von Marburg sued for defamation. But he did not pursue the people who posted the arguably more damaging comments. He sued the young administrator of the Facebook page and Dr Mourik, whom he alleged directed the student or personally edited the page.

In one of his first statements of claim, Dr von Marburg said he briefly went to the clinic to speak to his wife who often spent time in peaceful vigil outside. He said he was deeply concerned about the comments, which were published in a way to undermine his medical practice and professional reputation.

A University of Technology Sydney paper published this year found public figures fighting media companies were no longer the main users of defamation laws.

Researchers looked at 189 defamation cases between 2013 and 2017 and found more than half involved digital publication, including 16 that arose from Facebook posts and four from tweets. Just 21 per cent of plaintiffs were public figures.

Australia's first Twitter defamation case went to trial in 2013. A music teacher from the NSW town of Orange was awarded $105,000 because of a comment a former student made about her online. In 2016, a Queensland man had to pay his ex-wife $10,000 because he wrote on his own Facebook page that she was a "thieving, lying, money-crazed bitch".

Victorian bar president and defamation expert Matt Collins, QC, said the law should provide an easy remedy for online defamation, but it doesn't.

"The law provides an expensive and slow remedy. At a procedural level, defamation actions are too complicated, take too long and cost too much," he said. He said Australia could create a threshold test similar to that in Britain, where trivial cases are refused.

"In my long experience of seeing people whose reputations have been affected in an instant ... overwhelmingly what they want is someone in authority to say what is published about them is false," he said.

District Court Judge Judith Gibson heads the defamation list in NSW. Across Australia, there have been 91 cases in a four-month period this year alone.

The legislation was so out-of-date that it could not cope, Judge Gibson said. There are no limitations on when someone can sue over an online post and the system is set up so the cases go to trial, she said.

"So that means the litigation costs are enormous," she said in a Walkley Foundation talk this year.

The case of Dr Mourik and Dr von Marburg, who was unavailable to comment, dragged through the court for three years. It became less about Facebook posts and more about philosophical differences.

Dr Mourik ended up settling just before a 21-day trial. He had to publicly apologise and pay $180,000. Legal costs were hundreds of thousands more, but he said the emotional cost was higher still.

"It was a nightmare. Emotionally, physically and financially," he said.

"And who were the winners? The winners were the lawyers."

School leaders are calling for new social media laws to keep children safe amid fears their mental health is being 'damaged'.

Most headteachers have received reports of pupils being exposed to upsetting material on social media sites - including self-harm, bullying, hate speech and sexual content, a poll by the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) has found.

And two-fifths of school leaders said they had received reports of young people being bullied on social media on a daily or weekly basis, the survey revealed.

More than nine in 10 said pupils' wellbeing had suffered as a result of social media use over the past year - and they say new laws and regulation should be introduced to keep children safe.

Almost half of heads struggle to commission mental heath support

The survey, which questioned 460 secondary school headteachers in January, has been released on the first day of the ASCL's annual conference in Birmingham.

The majority of school leaders had received reports of pupils experiencing low self-esteem after seeing idealised images on social media sites, as well as missing out on sleep because of use.

And some headteachers reported that social media misuse had led to young people self-harming.

One school leader said: "We have seen a big increase in cases of self-harm related to the use of social media. When in the past the first weeks after a break used to be quiet, they are now much worse as pupils seek to settle arguments that have been enhanced over the holidays."

More than three-quarters of school leaders think that the Government and social media firms should produce more information for parents.

The Government has said it wants the UK to be "the safest place in the world to be online", and it will introduce a new code of practice setting out the minimum expectations on social media companies.

But some heads argue that parents are still not taking enough responsibility about social media.

"A very small number of parents also behave badly on social media," one headteacher said.

"When the school arranges e-safety meetings for parents there is very limited attendance.

"A national campaign to educate parents and alert them to the dangers of social media would support the education that is happening in schools for students."

Another school leader said: "Far too frequently parents join in with trolling or abuse incidents, or model abusive or harmful social media behaviour to their children themselves."

Geoff Barton, general secretary of ASCL, will warn attendees at the annual conference on Saturday that social media has a "dark side".

He will say: "It is a technology which has grown at great speed, outstripping our ability as a society to understand and mitigate against these negative impacts. More must be done to protect young people so that they can enjoy social media safely and responsibly.

"We recognise that the Government is trying to find solutions, but we are not convinced that the current proposals go far enough."

The impact of social media on children's mental health will be just one of a series of issues facing schools covered at ASCL's annual conference today and tomorrow.

Carl Ward, president of ASCL, will say in a speech to conference that overhauling every aspect of England's education system - from exams to the curriculum - at the same time was "madness".

Mr Ward, chief executive of City Learning Trust, a group of schools in Stoke-on-Trent, will call for a long-term plan for the education system that is not affected by a "ministerial merry-go-round".

"What has happened over the past few years is quite frankly ridiculous," the president will say.

"Setting aside whether the reforms have been wrong or right, their sheer weight and complexity has placed intolerable and unsustainable pressure on schools, teachers and leaders."

He will add: "The consequences are all too clear. We are mired in a teacher recruitment and retention crisis, which is fuelled largely by the negative perception of our profession caused by this blizzard of change and workload which has gone into overload."

Paul Drechsler, president of the Confederation of British Industry, is also expected to tell the conference today that academic achievement alone is not enough, and pupils need to be prepared for adult life.

He will say: "It's time to reset the debate. End the parade of government announcements that make a good headline but don't make a jot of difference on the big issues.

"Of course academic achievement matters. But alone it's not enough for the exciting world we face - in work or in wider society."
