If you speak the truth, however ugly, it is not libel or slander as I see it under Australian law. 
Uniform legislation was passed in Australiain 2005 severely restricting the right of corporations to sue for defamation(see, e.g., Defamation Act 2005 (Vic), s 9). The only corporationsexcluded from the general ban are those not for profit or those with less than 10 employees and notaffiliated with another company. Corporations may, however, still sue for thetort of injurious falsehood, where the burden of proof is greater than for meredefamation, because the plaintiff must show that the defamation was made withmalice and resulted in economic loss.
The 2005 reforms also established across allAustralian states the availability of truth as an unqualified defense;previously a number of states only allowed a defense of truth with thecondition that a public benefit existed.
Since the introduction ofthe uniform defamation laws in 2005 the distinction between slander and libelhas been abolished.

FACTS / TRUTH
Airline 'X' operate 18 aircraft, average age 14 years, the oldest is 21 years.
QUESTIONABLY LIBELLOUS :
Airline 'X' operate 18 aircraft, some are very old.
To paraphrase someone more astute than I:
"The Law is not about the truth, it's about the Law."
"The Law is not about the truth, it's about the Law."

SLAPP Subpoenas were arriving thick and fast there for awhile!
Surely previous posts are governed by previous rules, not that I have ever said anything libelous.
I didn't know IB had changed the rules. I'll go over to the Mod House and find out what is going on.

Ah, nothing like waking up and smelling the roses eh. I just looooove living in a socialist country, where we are manipulated, freedom of speech slowly taken away, seems like nobody can cop a spray anymore, taking it on the chin, they have to run to the lawyers. Political correctness is getting worse, and you wonder what on earth you are leaving your kids and grand kids. Not much by the sound of it.
Exactly Teresa.
Intimidation and communist style censorship more legal than having an opinion? I am officially scared!

I think we should all come clean now. I'll start. My name is Steve.
Have you got any other names though? 
One of the Subpoenas received by IB related in part to posts around 8 to 10 years ago.
) person cares about stuff written on a bulletin board 8 to 10 years ago? 
And what sort of damages were they claiming? Anyway, in my opinion Qantas still suck.
Anyone want to share a jail cell? 
Seriously, newer members may not be aware that several years ago there was successful legal action taken by one Australian PPRuNe member against another in relation to comments made on this board.

Careful...
....especially if it just an unqualified opinion.
Groaner, I agree but, stating what appears to be a fact and then claiming it was only an oppinion after the fact is not quite what I meant.
If I was to state "I didn't like that flight with X airlines, it didn"t feel safe to me" or "I thought Y airlines aircraft looked a bit old and ratty" surely you couldn't be crucified for that.
...and what if X actually is a convicted paedophile? Is stating a fact illegal? That would be a worry indeed as are these SLAPP things

Depends on whether we could bring in a few bottles of good Red with us though.

What sort of a ...(won't be libellous) person cares about stuff written on a bulletin board 8 to 10 years ago?

"A strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) is a lawsuit that is intended to censor, intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition."
