Episode Details

A mystery party is attempting to block the release of a report from Victorias corruption watchdog, IBAC, which investigates a 2016 dispute between the Country Fire Authority, the state government, and the firefighters union. The party is fighting to keep their identity secret, even from the judge, and the legal battle could drag on for months or years. Media lawyers argue that this secrecy will lead to rumors and speculation, and the public interest in releasing the report is strong. The Premier and Shadow Attorney-General have differing views on the matter, with the Premier wanting the report released and the Shadow Attorney-General promising to boost transparency at IBAC if elected.
