Are suppression orders out of control in Victoria?
Associate Professor Jason Bosland, a law academic focused on suppression orders and open justice, and Michael Bachelard, an investigative journalist and Gold Walkley winner, discuss whether Victoria’s courts are issuing too many suppression orders. They examine flawed comparative statistics, the Silvani mental-health suppression controversy, proposed legal tweaks, and the idea of an open-justice advocate.
