The Commission has implemented a new policy relating to submissions that contain inappropriate, defamatory or potentially defamatory content.
The aim of the policy is to ensure respectful and safe communication. It also seeks to maintain legal and ethical standards by not publishing offending content on the Commission’s website during assessment proceedings.
The policy applies to all submissions received by the Commission. This includes reports, representations, hearing submissions, further submissions, photographs and other digital media.
The policy also includes clear guidelines and procedures on how the Commission reviews, monitors and removes inappropriate or defamatory content while ensuring transparency and fairness to all parties.
