Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Answers to Questions Police Complaints and Discipline Act Police Complaints and Discipline Act The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council Police Complaints and Discipline Act In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS ().27 August 2024). The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Police Complaints and Discipline Act The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): I have been advised: Section 46 of the Police Complaints and Discipline Act 2016 prohibits the publication of various types of information related to procedures under the act. Publication includes by newspaper, radio, television, the internet or other electronic means of creating and sharing content with the public or participating in social networking with the public. Under Australia's constitutional arrangements, a state parliament may legislate with extraterritorial effect provided there is a sufficient territorial connection to the state in question. Whilst I am not able to comment on the lawfulness of any particular publication, there is nothing that would generally preclude the prohibition on publishing information about South Australian police complaints and discipline matters applying to an interstate media organisation.
