High-profile married man's name to remain suppressed in Cairns extortion case
A judge has dismissed an application to overturn a suppression order preventing the identity of a high-profile married man at the centre of an alleged extortion threat from being revealed.
Media organisations, including the ABC, applied to the Supreme Court for a judicial review of the non-publication order originally made in the Cairns Magistrates Court in late May.
Justice James Henry today dismissed the media’s application, four weeks after the judicial review was heard in Cairns.
