On the facts and Twitter context the court found the impugned tweets referred to the plaintiffs and that the word 'gila' in the impugned statements was used in its literal defamatory sense; the defence of fair comment failed because statements were presented as fact and were not matters of public interest supported by proved facts; judgment entered for plaintiffs with awards and injunctions as ordered.
