 (a) that the law regards children as an unreliable class of witness; or
 (b) that the law requires greater or lesser weight to be given to evidence that is given by closed‑circuit television or alternative arrangements under Division 4; or
 (c) that the law requires greater or lesser weight to be given to evidence that is given by a video recording under Division 5; or
 (d) that the law requires greater or lesser weight to be given to evidence because an adult accompanies the child under section 15YO.
