Victorian judge rejects government's secrecy claim on Melbourne housing tower demolition.

A Victorian judge has rejected the government's claim to keep documents secret regarding the demolition of public housing towers in Melbourne. Barry Berih leads a class action lawsuit for 479 households challenging the decision, which was made without prior resident consultation. The ruling may allow the release of documents revealing the government's decision-making process. Despite the lawsuit, a $100 million contract for demolition has already been signed.
