Thank you, I think they are audio recordings and damn I need to pay for it!

Much cheaper to pay for an audio recording than a transcript!

Ring up the people at Auscript and get a quote. They will do that for you. And I have found their online web page very helpful and even better if you fill it in for them.

Cheers

Thanks for the tip although I feel disappointed that this vital part of the Courts has became a business and now I understand why people are not allowed to record anything, it's because there is a monopoly.
By the way, Auscript has limitations: "The transcript you receive will not include any Reasons or Judgment. Auscript’s contractual arrangement with the Courts does not allow us to distribute Reasons or Judgment".

And then my accusation regarding the business monopolistic system built within the Courts are backed by the fact that transcripts "sold" by Auscript: "Sharing transcripts is a direct breach of copyright".

Post this in the IP copyright forum to see if this stacks up. I'm curious if copyright can be help over public information.

Yeah, my court case I'm fighting for, my story, can become someone's else right & copyright.
Family violence related cases may not be disclosed even if the claimant has made a false claim.
But then TV and Radio medias can disclose cases.
This is all wrong!

Auscript has been slapping the "copyright" warning on transcripts for years. Previously parties would often agree to share the cost of transcripts, one party would request it and the other party would then pay half the cost. With the new "copyright" approach, Auscript now gets to charge two or sometimes more sets of fees for the same job.

That's why it's good that the courts will make the audio available. It's a flat fee and much cheaper than obtaining a transcript.
