Restrictions on publicity about proceedings in Supreme Court
53 Restrictions on publicity about proceedings in Supreme Court
Despite any rule or practice to the contrary, proceedings under this Act are not to be conducted in public nor publicised in any public list of the Supreme Court’s business.
The Supreme Court must establish appropriate procedures to ensure that information about —
the Court’s proceedings on review of a preventative detention order under this Act; and
any other proceedings brought before the Court in relation to a preventative detention order or a prohibited contact order,
is confined within the narrowest possible limits.
However the Supreme Court is not required to suppress the publication of information under this section if —
the Minister authorises its publication; or
the Court determines that the publication of the information could not conceivably prejudice national security and that its publication should be authorised in the public interest.
