Royal Commission Draft Submission

Detects draft submissions to Royal Commissions before formal tabling. Pre-tabling drafts reveal the State's narrative strategy, admissions under consideration, and positions not yet finalised. Disclosure prejudices the State's participation in proceedings of national significance.
