Open justice is a vital principle in Australia's legal system, ensuring that justice is not only done but seen to be done. By making court proceedings transparent and accessible to the public, it helps maintain confidence in the fairness and integrity of the courts.

However, when transparency could interfere with the proper administration of justice, courts may issue suppression or non-publication orders to protect sensitive information while still ensuring that justice is served.

Every effort has been made to comply with non-publication (suppression) orders or statutory provisions prohibiting publication that may apply to this information.
