Media the world over do withhold names: rape victims, underage defendants, so it isn't impossible for them to control themselves if there was a clear risk of a miscarriage of justice (which may or may not be the case in this instance).

Slightly off-topic, but the picture in the article of a (recently demolished) newsstand neatly represents the international portrayal of Australia...laid back people in flip-flops lounging about without a care in the world. The reality is that, given the location, those were far more likely to have been tourists.

That's my hometown and I doubt they're far more likely to be tourists. I think it's more likely they're University students (from QUT).
