High-profile man accused of Toowoomba rape takes fight to maintain anonymity to supreme court

Media companies, including Guardian Australia, oppose the man’s application to avoid being named under new Queensland laws

Lawyers for a high-profile man accused of rape have been reprimanded by a Queensland judge for failing to promptly submit their application for a judicial review to keep their client’s name secret.

The man’s identity will remain protected following a decision in Brisbane’s supreme court on Tuesday to extend an interim non-publication order.
