联邦政府被敦促阻止澳大利亚人观看计划中的胡德堡大屠杀凶手尼达尔·哈桑的处决直播。澳大利亚政府应阻止参议员莎拉·汉森-扬所说的“野蛮”美国军事处决的广播或直播，但尚不清楚联邦政府是否有能力或意愿这样做。
Federal government urged to prevent Australians from viewing planned broadcast of Fort Hood mass murderer Nidal Hasan’s execution The Australian government should block the “barbaric” broadcast or live stream of a US military execution, Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young says, but it is unclear whether the commonwealth can or would be willing to do so.
尽管通信部门警告媒体广播者必须“负责任地”报道尼达尔·马利克·哈桑计划于12月3日由五角大楼直播的枪决处决事件，但澳大利亚联邦政府消息人士表示，对盟国自行进行的法律程序施加限制可能存在限制。
While the communications department warned media broadcasters must “act responsibly” in reporting on the scheduled execution by firing squad of Nidal Malik Hasan – which the Pentagon said would be livestreamed on 3 December– Australian federal government sources said there may be limitations in what it can do to order restrictions on an ally carrying out its own legal proceedings.
