Six media organisations, including Fairfax, are mounting a consitutional challenge to secret hearings in an upcoming terrorism trial in Australia. The trial involves Sydney man Faheem Khalid Lodhi, who is charged with commiting acts in preparation for a terrorist attack. Lodhi is accused of conspiring with French terror suspect Willie Brigitte to attack Sydney's military bases and electricity supply network. In the course of Lodhi's trial, towards the end of December Justice Anthony Whealy ruled that evidence and pre-trial maters are to remain secret. This ruling is seperate to the constitutional challenge.
