The phrase you were looking for, Tim, was ' DA Notice'* (which is for items of National Security, not house fires.....).
* used to be 'D' Notice |
It is used for political reasons, as I mentioned above.
They probably made a very dodgy link to it being a national security issue, as the army were using the green godesses during that dispute.

There would legally be a huge difference between it being used for a big cover up, and it being used to ask the media to not report any stories that could make members of a particular union look good.....one would probably be illegal, and could lead to a huge scandal. The other probably wouldn't be noticed.
