    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, I want to support the amendment by the Chair. You realise that the current Clause 8 is quite skeletal and so, the reason we added meat was so that we put the rights of the victim positively. You identify the positive right that you are trying to protect and then you provide for it. Just to respond, the court cannot be relied on. The court has its mechanisms of knowing what the truth is and what the lie is, but you want to give the victim that protection. You do not want to give room for people speculating and the media saying that we can do this and we cannot do this. With regard to the media privacy and how the media is supposed to treat victims’ offences, they have a code of conduct. We also have a law that guides that. We are just restating this, so that no one has an excuse to treat a victim unfairly. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
