A court in far north Queensland is set to hear a challenge regarding a suppression order that protects the identity of a high-profile individual linked to an extortion case. Although this individual is not facing any charges, his name surfaced in the case against another man accused of extorting his former partner through threats of disclosing an alleged affair. The accused reportedly threatened to contact the high-profile man's wife or employer to further his extortion efforts. The suppression order was established by an acting magistrate in Cairns, who indicated that lifting the order could allow the accused to achieve his intended purpose. However, the defence barrister, Brydie Bilic, contends that revealing the high-profile man's name would not lead to the identification of either the accused or the complainant. The court hearing regarding this suppression order is scheduled for Monday, with various media outlets advocating for its removal to disclose the identity of the high-profile individual.
