Fairfax Media has been fined $A15,000 for running an advertisement in February 2016 that made false claims about its Domain real estate listings business. The advertisement was run one day after Fairfax had agreed in court that it would not place adverts that made false claims, following legal action taken by realestate.com.au owner REA Group. Fairfax was found to be in contempt of court.

The long-running legal dispute between Seven West Media and former employee Amber Harrison has returned to court. Seven alleges that Harrison was in contempt of court by posting tweets about the media group despite being subject to a suppression order. Seven is seeking a declaration to this effect from the Supreme Court of New South Wales, although sources have indicated that the company is unlikely to enforce a costs order against her. Harrison left the media group in the wake of an affair with CEO Tim Worner.
