A le­gal dis­pute be­tween Sen­a­tors Dr Amery Browne and Phillip Ed­ward Alexan­der over al­leged­ly defam­a­to­ry com­ments ap­pears head­ed for the courts.

While the spe­cif­ic al­le­ga­tions can­not be re­pub­lished due to their po­ten­tial­ly defam­a­to­ry na­ture, Alexan­der re­port­ed­ly sug­gest­ed that so­cial me­dia users should take note of a pur­port­ed crim­i­nal in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­volv­ing Browne and for­mer prime min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley.
