And its also long since obsolete.

Most interesting to read about section 230 given that Australian law sounds closer to your common law position. In common though is the question of activist judges. Yes, we can all decide with our gut which party is ‘right’. But the text of the Act is intended to offer an objective method of interpretation. Start with the Act, finish with the result. Not the other way round!
