As an Australian, the suppression order forbids me from amending the above Wikipedia article to include a note to the suppression order (how meta): "4.The prohibition on publication in order 1 applies throughout Australia." If someone outside of Australia were to do this however... Edit: 1 hour after I made this comment, nobody from outside of Australia seems to have updated the page :(

  It appears to have been made under Victorian jurisdiction, which happens a lot because of their suppression laws. Strictly speaking, they can't prevent publication in other states, but they can punish anyone or anything in Victoria. That's why an order made in Victoria will stop the major media.

    Even though it's a state issue, I still wouldn't advise an Australian resident to post anything, even if you're not in Victoria. Still, 2 hours after my comment and a non-Australian has yet to take the hint to edit the Wikipedia page :(

    I think they can prevent publication in other states actually. Under s 2 of the Australia Act, State legislative powers can have extra-territorial operation. So even though there is no physical connection to Victoria, I think the situation would be the same as if a non-Victorian committed a murder (or any other offence) in Victoria.
