Australia bans reporting of multi-nation corruption case
From the article: - The court made this order to:<p>"- prevent damage to Australia's international relations that may be caused by the publication of material that may damage the reputations of specified individuals who are not the subject of charges in these proceedings.
These orders are made on the grounds that they are:<p>- necessary to prevent a real and substantial risk of prejudice to the proper administration of justice that cannot be prevented by other reasonably available means; and<p>- necessary to prevent prejudice to the interests of the Commonwealth in relation to national security. "<p>The court would be very careful about making such orders and Australia has one of the strongest separations between the courts and the government. This means that the decision is likely to be made for fair administration of justice rather than for political reasons.
