A suppression order that previously prevented media reporting on an alleged incident involving Australian Greens senator Lidia Thorpe at the MCG is lifted, allowing details from the case to be published. Multiple outlets report that the gag order had been in place for more than two years, meaning information about the incident could not be disclosed during that period.
The reporting focuses on the fact that the court-imposed restriction is no longer active, enabling journalists to reveal what occurred during the MCG incident and associated aspects of the matter. Both sources describe the development as the end of the suppression order, not as a new finding on the merits of the allegations themselves.
The outlets do not indicate that the lifting of the order changes the underlying legal process, but it does permit broader public discussion of previously restricted information. The incident is reported to have taken place approximately two years earlier, with the timing of the release now linked to the legal outcome that removed the prior prohibition on reporting.
