Crime and Corruption Act 2001

In addition to any order the Supreme Court may make under this part or part 3, division 3, the court may make any order the court considers appropriate in the circumstances.

Without limiting subsection (1), the Supreme Court may make an order restricting access to any material, including a document or thing given to the court in the proceedings for the application (the relevant material), including an order that the relevant material—

is not required to be disclosed to another party; and

is not to be publicly accessible.

In deciding whether to make an order under subsection (2), the Supreme Court may have regard to whether disclosure of the relevant material would—

prejudice a proceeding, or an investigation or intelligence operation of the commission or the police service; or

cause harm or detriment to a person; or

not be in the public interest; or

in the context of a claim of reasonable excuse based on journalist privilege, or a claim of journalist privilege—

disclose the identity of the informant as the source of the relevant material; or

enable the identity of the informant as the source of the relevant material to be ascertained.
