Judgment will be delivered in Darwin on Friday 11 August at 2.00pm Central time (2.30pm Eastern) by Justice Maurice O'Loughlin. The judgment summary will be carried live on ABC Television, Radio and On Line - and via cable channel Sky News throughout Australia. Other television and radio networks also have access to the sound and vision. It is the first time that a judgment will be delivered live and broadcast simultaneously on television, radio and the internet in Australia. The judgment summary can also be seen live on the Federal Court's home page: www.fedcourt .gov.au and, as with all Federal Court judgments, the full written text will be available on line shortly after delivery. The case was heard during 1999 and 2000 and ran for 107 days. The Court sat in Adelaide, Perth, Townsville, Darwin, Tenant, Creek, Alice Springs and Melbourne. It involved 60 witnesses, more than 300 exhibits (consisting of many thousands of pages) and almost 8,000 pages of transcript. The Court's Director of Public Information, Bruce Phillips, said the judge had agreed to the broadcast because of the great public interest and because it gave people the opportunity to hear directly and immediately about the reasons for his decision. He said this was a view shared by other judges within the court. Mr Phillips said it built upon the Court's six-years of experience with court television that included live broadcasts of judgments on free-to-air, cable television and the internet.
