The report follows 8 months of national consultations. Through an online survey, individuals and organisations had the opportunity to provide comments on potential law reform topics and make their own suggestions about areas of law they believe are in need of reform. Over 400 people completed the survey. The ALRC has also been holding consultations with key stakeholders and conducting public seminars.
This inquiry, which began in April 2003, examined measures to safeguard classified and security sensitive information during court or tribunal proceedings, or in the course of other investigations including those relating to criminal prosecutions, civil suits, immigration matters or freedom of information applications ... the ALRCs̉ recommendations were tabled in federal Parliament on 23 June 2004.

First proposed in 1994, the Twin Peaks model of financial system regulation employs two specialist peak regulators: one charged with the maintenance of financial system stability, and the other with market conduct and consumer protection. This volume, with contributions from over thirty scholars and senior regulators, provides an in-depth analysis of the similarities and differences in the Twin Peaks regimes that have been adopted around the world. Chapters examine the strengths and weaknesses of the model, provide lessons from Australia (the first to adopt the model), and offer a comparative look at the potential suitability of the model in leading non-Twin Peaks jurisdictions. A key resource for central bankers, public policy analysts, lawyers, economists, politicians, academics and students, this work provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the Twin Peaks model, and a roadmap for countries considering its adoption.
The distinction between criminal and non-criminal (civil) penalty law and procedure is significant and adds to the subtlety of regulatory law. This Report finds that the distinction should be maintained and, where necessary, reinforced.
