A Victorian MP has won a six-figure payout after a court found she was defamed by an online conspiracy theorist whose rants were “deranged”.

Dr Anne Webster, from Mildura in country Victoria, her husband and her charity successfully sued Karen Brewer for defamation in the Federal Court over seven Facebook posts made in late April and early May.

Among other claims that were previously aired in court, Ms Brewer said the member for Mallee was “parachuted into parliament to protect a generation of paedophiles” and her charity was involved in sex trafficking. She has also been permanently restrained by the court from making further similar posts about the Websters.

A long line of Mildura community leaders provided glowing character references for Ms Webster, who was in 2019 awarded the Mildura Rural City Council Citizen of the Year, and Mr Webster, who has practised medicine in Mildura for 40 years. The most popular of Ms Brewer’s posts received 315 comments, was viewed 2400 times and shared 204 times.

SM gives everyone a voice. Any ‘conspiracy’ is sure the attract a following. It’s what they do next that matters.

Jezuz! MP’s that frail they are becoming emotional over online trolls and these are the people that are tasked with fairly “important roles”. AnneWebsterMP maybe if you cannot take the criticism, trolling, jokes, maybe quit your job and leave it someone who is less emotional?

At last someone has taken action against the mysterious Karen Brewer, responsible for a lot of nonsense and outright falsehoods on-line.

Australians will speculate and think the worst as long as our Govt continues to suppress Woods Royal Commission that actually identifies child sex abusers in “high prominent positions,including a former PM”. Time to end the suppression Australians have the right to know truth. 👇

Can’t handle the heat stay out politics 🤷‍♂️

She looks happy enough! Shakes head. 🤦‍♀️

Of course she’s a Karen. Could be the most 2020 article to date.

Is the ABC outraged that women outnumber men is certain professions? You're a joke Clearly best person for the job given. Earn your position. Good to see.
