I got court of criminal appeal as well, because they hear the appeal, and I though the case only goes to high court, not the appeal

The court of appeal is not the highest court though for appeals on points of law, Burns v Queen for example is a case appealed from the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Court of Criminal Appeal) to the High Court because it is believed the conviction was under erroneous circumstances

How? I don't understand that answer
Committal proceeding is the preliminary hearing of a case in the local court to determine f it is serious enough to be tried before a jury in a higher court and if there is enough evidence to establish a case.

I think you are slightly confused between appeals on questions of law, and appeals on sentence because the high court can hear appeals, by special leave, from Federal, State and Territory courts, on questions of law. The highest court for sentence appeals is the Supreme court of appeal. Considering the question concerned a question of law in contrast to a challenge on appeal, it could go to the high court for appeal.
"The CCA is a court of review. This means that it does not hear evidence itself, and in most cases, fresh evidence is not admissible. Where a conviction is challenged, the court will review the proceedings and the judgment of the lower court, and must decide whether an error of law has been shown. An error of law is a misinterpretation or misapplication of a principle of law, or the application of an inappropriate principle of law to the facts concerned."

Certainly, and I'll be quite frank. Basically they can't ask them questions on the train because it tarnishes the fluidity and methodology of the investigation process - i.e. questions can only be asked after the accused has been arrested (during the interrogation process after the caution has been read). Hence, the answer is D.
