Inaccuracy and inertia in communications has done the CJS great disservice in this case. It’s 2026, we should be living in an age of instant transcription!

Exactly. I realise a process of anonymising the identities of complainants and child defendants must occur before documents are published but how long does that take?

Thankyou for writing this. I have been waiting for your update since I heard the court of appeals decision. It has been better to be able to read a clear analysis of the case rather than something with bias written in the mainstream media.

I do wonder what good locking these kids up is going to do now. Apart from appease the baying mob.

What a mess.

Thank you Zena, that's good to know, and I share your concerns about the purpose and benefit of detention.
