Secrecy is the theme of this show on The informer

We talk to Meghan Fitzgerald from the Fitzroy Legal Service about the case they are taking to the High Court on behalf of Doctors For refugees. Doctors are gagged from speaking out over child abuse and other threats to asylum seekers in detention centres.

We also talk with Ben Dechrai, a privacy advocate about concerns about the Australian Census and changes that have been made to the collection of data and linking to names and addresses.
