(b) even if the proceedings, or the
part of the proceedings in which the complainant gives evidence, are held in
camera.
(3) Without limiting the entitlement of a complainant under this
section, the person or persons chosen by the complainant to be with the
complainant when he or she gives evidence may include a parent, guardian,
relative, friend or support person of the complainant, or a person assisting
the complainant in a professional capacity.
(4) An accused person is not
entitled to object to the suitability of the person or persons chosen by a
complainant to be with the complainant when giving evidence, and the court is
not to disallow the complainant's choice of person or persons on its own
motion, unless the complainant's choice is likely to prejudice the
accused person's right to a fair trial (for example, because the person chosen
by the complainant is a witness or potential witness in the proceedings).
(5)
During any part of the proceedings in which the complainant gives evidence,
the person or persons chosen by the complainant to be present when the
complainant gives evidence are taken to be exempt from any requirement or
direction under this Division that requires the proceedings, or the part of
the proceedings concerned, to be held in camera.
