The DSMA Notice System

Welcome to the website of the Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee

When does a government department seek police/legal action against an editor or author?

This usually happens when the DSMA-Notice system has not been used by the media or when a government department is so concerned that serious damage is imminent that they wish to take immediate preventative action. The DSMA-Notice Secretary is not involved in police/legal action.
