They already do.

The only reason this discussion is legally allowed to go ahead is because we're discussing something that was said in Parliament, where speech cannot be banned by the courts.

However, anything else covered by this injunction is not allowed to be discussed here. Not that it's likely such topics would come up, as you would probably have had to have been at the high court to know what they are.
