Additionally, the bill's amendments outline that there are some additional steps that must be taken when dealing with journalistic privilege in the case of search warrants or production orders. This means that in future cases, officers dealing with someone they think is a journalist have some clear guidance to follow as the minimum things that they need to do in order to protect journalistic privilege. This will help prevent scenarios such as those that arose in the Hager case from happening again. These changes were put into the bill more recently after the Hon Clare Curran passed the bill on to Louisa Wall and are intended to address the issues that have arisen as the definition of "journalist" for the purposes of evidence and police services.
