Simone made a direct accusation that Bolt, Smith and Pickering had defamed Shorten when clearly two had not done so and I seriously doubt Pickering went there either. Bolt is above reproach on this matter.
So yes, you can defame people of note. It's me you can't defame because I have no fame to begin with.
Bolt has opinions, that's what he is paid for, but he is always very careful with his words, far more so than you.
