I recall the first season of Underbelly wasn't allowed to be shown in Victoria due to a supression order.

Back then, people sent the episodes interstate or waited until the box set was avaliable and dutifuly dispatched it down south to their starved relatives. It was hard work, and only the truly curious bothered.

Fast foward 10 years, and there is another high profile case, a very high profile priest has been found guilty of dispicable acts.  This time the supression order is for the entire country. Again the internet (and some very brave instagram posters) have brought attention to the verdict.  The Australian news has brought further attention to the case, reporting what they cant report, speaking in well lawyered code, actively pushing people to google to find out what they are talking about.

In this day and age, what is the point?? If a jury is able to find someone guilty of one offence and not another in the same trial, does prejudice really extend to he was guilty of one offence, so this must affect his guilt in another trial.

Apparently the Victorian legal system issues more than 50% of the suppression orders in Australia.

Then there's this.

Not subject to any suppression orders. In the Sunshine Coast Daily

George Pell removed from Vatican role


by Ellen Whinnett in Vatican City

13th Dec 2018 7:36 AM


Australian Cardinal George Pell has been removed from Pope Francis' inner circle of advisers.
The Vatican has confirmed Cardinal Pell, 77, is one of three cardinals who was not reappointed to the Council of Cardinals, known as the C9, which provides high-level international advice to the Pope.
A former Archbishop of Melbourne and Sydney, Cardinal Pell retains his role as Treasurer to the Vatican, its third-highest position, although he has been on a leave of absence for 18 months.
Chilean Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz and Congolese Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya were also not reappointed.
The Vatican said the Pope had decided in late October not to reappoint the three cardinals at the end of their five-year tenures.

The Pope's decision came after a meeting of the C9 in September, which none of the three men attended.
However, the Vatican only announced the Pontiff's decision on Wednesday.

Note the announcement on Wednesday, the day after the jury reached a verdict in the case subject to the suppression order.

Thanks guys, haven't caught the news for a couple of days.
Just googled G. Pell guilty , went to a USA site that said the order across AUS was in force.
Even the Catholic News has the verdict - unanimously guilty .
I hope he goes to jail and gets his own back with interest.

Local radio has just said that he's not being appointed as Treasurer by Vatican possibly due to reasons that are contained in an Australian wide Court supression order.

[beerman]

He is 77,  there will no doubt be an appeal which will take a fair amount of time,

Then another appeal.

I suspect it ends when he is recalled by his maker.

This is not an ideal situation but one must accept that His Honour has not been influenced by State or Church.
I note that further charges are pending and the suppression order may be intended to avoid prejudicing those matters.
Probably the most important fact is that radio scum such as Allan Jones et al. are gagged.

 Thanks mate.

As an early contributor to that page and as a Wikipedia contributing editor (10 years), it was on my watch list., but I missed this update.
The page was becoming loaded with unfounded statements and was being constantly vandalised , so it was decided that only a few trusted editors could access it. This is not usual Wiki policy.
