The Tasmania Law Reform Institute has put the spotlight on bullying in all its forms and what legislation exists to deal with it, in a recently released issues paper.
The paper looks at current laws and legal frameworks in Tasmania and elsewhere, to assess whether legislative reform is necessary to tackle the full range of bullying behaviours, including cyberbullying. It also presents a number of options for reform in this increasingly problematic and complex issue.
