| Abstract | Recent controversy has caused us to reflect on the existing law of contempt. Some critics believe the existing laws are out of date. This article is in two parts. In Part I the article specifically considers two examples of contempt, scandalising the court and sub judice contempt, and considers their compatibility with the implied freedom of political communication in the Australian Constitution. It finds there are real questions over the continued constitutional validity of the courts' power with respect to scandalising the court. |
