What does "Protection of publication of proceedings of Parliament and State Legislatures" mean in this context?
In this context, "Protection of publication of proceedings of Parliament and State Legislatures" means that a person will not be subject to any legal consequences (civil or criminal) in any court for publishing a substantially true report of any proceedings of either House of Parliament or the Legislative Assembly, or, as the case may be, either House of the Legislature of a State. However, this protection is only valid if the publication is made without malice.
