So BHP muzzled us in Court | The West Report

by | Jun 1, 2026 | The West Report

Michael West Media has just faced BHP in the Federal Court where the Big Australian was pushing for a closed court and suppression orders. They won the latter … for now.

The first hearing meant that Michael West Media has to take down some of its own reporting before we go back to court next week on June 4 for more punishment

BHP got what they wanted but we do have a small win. BHP’s MinterEllison solicitor is off the case due to conflict of interest and has withdrawn a key part of his affidavit on grounds that it was, in legal language … sketchy.
