Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

Senators referred to the fact that there are sensitive issues with regard to the necessary privacy which parties to these proceedings would wish to see obtain. There is an equal need to ensure that what the courts do is subject to public scrutiny. There is a difficult balance to be struck and the Government has made a commitment to address this issue, which was raised by Senator Hayes.
