Channel Seven Seeks Court Order to Suppress Evidence in Hostile Workplace Lawsuit

The network argues that the release of 'salacious' details could hinder mediation efforts with former journalist Amelia Saw.

  • Amelia Saw, a former journalist for Channel Seven's Spotlight program, has filed a lawsuit alleging a hostile work environment for women.
  • Channel Seven has requested a suppression order to keep certain court documents private, claiming they contain potentially 'salacious' communications.
  • The network's barrister argued that public disclosure could lead to a biased mediation process by hardening positions.
  • Justice Nye Perram has reserved his decision on the suppression request, with mediation scheduled for next month.
  • Several media organizations, including Nine and the ABC, oppose the suppression order, advocating for transparency.
