On September 4, Queensland's magistrates courts will be busy, with over 43 scheduled to appear across the state.
These appearances reflect the busy daily operation of the courts in various regions.
The figure omits appearances under suppression or non-publication orders. Suppression orders block the public from accessing information that would otherwise be available in open court hearings.

|---|---|
| Southport | 11 |
| Townsville | 11 |
| Hervey Bay | 8 |

Open justice, a cornerstone of the Australian legal system, ensures that justice is not only done but seen to be done. Public scrutiny of court proceedings fosters accountability and prevents misuse of power.
However, when openness could jeopardize the administration of justice, courts may issue suppression orders to protect sensitive information. These orders strike a balance between transparency and the need to safeguard justice and individual privacy.
Every effort has been made to comply with non-publication (suppression) orders or statutory provisions prohibiting publication that may apply to this information.
