The Senator also raised the issue of the publicity of court proceedings in family matters. It is an important issue and we must be careful in this area. We must respect the privacy of family proceedings, but the standard of criticism that must take place in such cases is at issue. The Constitution is clear that justice must be administered in public save in such specially limited circumstances as are prescribed by law. The bulk of matrimonial and family law proceedings are way beyond the specially limited circumstance and amount to much of the business of the courts. The programme for Government contained a commitment to consider this area.
