In the public interest.
Are officers of the court compromised? The partner was not allowed to attend closed court hearings.
Was Craig McLachlan targeted? Was this case biased? How are both sides protected to resolve the problem?
I am not privy to the truth of this matter, however, what is apparent is trial by media prior to a court matter. No person should be subject to media defamation to destroy them. This to me is a form of assault. There should be standards in the media to not release information unless they are very sure it is in the public interest. They should hold back the story and find out both sides. Anyone can be humiliated if the are targeted and powerless to defend themselves.
