Open justice, a cornerstone of the Australian legal system, ensures that justice is not only done but seen to be done. Public scrutiny of court proceedings fosters accountability and prevents misuse of power.
However, when openness could jeopardize the administration of justice, courts may issue suppression orders to protect sensitive information. These orders strike a balance between transparency and the need to safeguard justice and individual privacy.
Every effort has been made to comply with non-publication (suppression) orders or statutory provisions prohibiting publication that may apply to this information.
