Ban the media from naming the deceased and relatives in suicide and murder cases

Petition Details

We want the Government to prevent the media from naming murder victims and people who have died by suicide, and their relatives, without consent from their family members.

Additional Information

This can be very distressing for family members, who may be identifiable once their family member's name has been published, and experience intrusion as a result.

I think that the Government should make it so that newspapers have to seek consent from families before they can name murder victims and people who have died by suicide, and their relatives.
