Introduction

11.1 The ALRC’s recommendations in Chapters 8, 9 and 10, form a set of principles to guide the creation of new specific secrecy offences and the review of existing offences. This chapter considers ways in which these principles can be applied to the 358 specific secrecy offences that the ALRC has identified on the Commonwealth statute book and to the development of new secrecy offences in the future.
