So wikileaks mentions it, of course. It's a super-injunction concerning a corruption case which means no-one is allowed to talk about the case nor are they allowed to mention that they aren't allowed to talk about it.

Some Australian media seem to be challenging that order but warn retweeting the wikileaks link could get you in trouble.
 
These super-injunctions were the height of fashion in the UK a few years ago and for all I know they could still be.
 
... for all I know they could still be.
Indeed. Perhaps now they have worked the wrinkles out.
What kind of ruling class makes knowledge of what they are doing illegal? I'd start by speculating that it might not be one with democratic leanings. But if they aren't doing anything wrong they have nothing to hide.
