Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if an affected child is to give evidence in a criminal proceeding, other than a committal proceeding, for a relevant offence.
(2) A party may apply to the court for an order that the child's evidence not be taken and video-taped under this subdivision.
(3) The court may make the order for good reason, having regard to the child's wishes and the purposes of this division.
Example--
If a courtroom or other place with facilities to take and video-tape the affected child's evidence is not likely to be available within a reasonable time, the court may decide the child's interests are better served by dealing with the proceeding quickly rather than waiting for a courtroom or other place with the necessary facilities to become available.
