Legislative immunity comes into play if DiFi defames somebody, of course, but most of her lies are about guns, not people. Guns can't sue for defamation no matter who defames them, or when. I don't know how legislative immunity affects the press. Presumably, if a Legislator said X, the press has a right to report that they said X, even if X was defamatory. They may get into trouble, though, if they do it in a manner that comes off as though they were asserting X themselves. Lying isn’t generally illegal anyway.
