BHP Drops Case Against Michael West Media, Suppression Orders Remain | The West Report

BHP has dropped its case against Michael West Media, but the legal battle is far from over.

At the same time, sweeping suppression orders have been imposed over large parts of the case, preventing public scrutiny of matters we believe are clearly in the public interest. Why did Australia’s biggest company back away from its case against Michael West Media? Why are key documents and allegations now hidden from public view? And what does this mean for press freedom, open justice and ordinary Australians trying to take on powerful corporations?
