This request is going to bend the prosecution right out of shape. Right now they are trying to have the whole case suppressed. The 3News request has kind of spiked that.
All such requests need the consent of the accused and I of course have consented. I want this trial about name suppression to be available to all, even those who can’t be in the physical courtroom.
I welcome this sort of openness, I seriously doubt whether the court will.
