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.
