‘A stain you cannot wash off’: GP on his $900,000 defamation victory
Dr Philip Webster describes the ordeal he and his wife went through after being targeted by conspiracy theorist
Last month, Dr Philip Webster and his Federal MP wife Dr Anne Webster (PhD) were awarded $900,000 in damages after falling victim to a conspiracy theorist.
In a series of online videos posted on Facebook, Karen Brewer falsely claimed the Websters were “participants in a secretive criminal network involved in the sexual abuse of children”.
She went on to declare that the couple’s charity for disadvantaged mothers was “a shield to launder money for the Freemasons”.
Her campaign began in April and continued unrelentingly for two weeks before Facebook eventually took them down and the Websters launched legal action.
