I feel like the suppression order has only brought more attention to this already high profile case, especially given his name was released hours before it was all redacted.
It's 11:00 AM now, let's see if it gets thrown out!

I think it is just as likely that he did it stone cold , clear as a bell, he is just a born killer. It suited his purpose, whatever that may have been, that he needed nothin to jack himself up for it, it just seemed the thing to do on a sunny Sunday morning in the bush.

About Court this morning - Re the suppression order …
Late on Thursday, defence lawyer David Tamanika notified the Office of Public Prosecutions he would withdraw the application for a permanent suppression order, citing the “uproar” caused by the application.
It comes after lawyers for the accused, the son of an ex-AFL footballer, notified prosecutors they would withdraw an application for a permanent suppression order after a magistrate on Thursday temporarily suppressed his name, address and date of birth amid fears he could be at risk of self-harm.

Partner at Thomsom Geer Laywers, Justin Quill criticised the granting of the order and says he suspects the order will be lifted this morning.
“If you’re going to ask me what’s the reason for it [being granted], my answer to that is no good reason … we consider there just wasn’t a proper basis for making a suppression order in that case,” he told Tom Elliott

Yes, seems like the lawyer has notified prosecutors that he would withdraw the application for permanent suppression of the accused's name, address and date of birth.

His lawyer seems to be having an uphill run, a sulking silent client, who's only hope of having the slightest chance of a slightly less awful outcome is co operation with the police.....not an easy job. .....Yes, seems like the lawyer has notified prosecutors that he would withdraw the application for permanent suppression of the accused's name, address and date of birth.

As police state, SM has been murdered by this person, they have evidence.
Not providing any info where SM's body has been taken, as others have suggested, could be he does not want details of what happened to SM: perhaps brutal.
It also could be due, to his lawyer stating, 'don't disclose anything', keep stating 'no comment'.
This method, could be used as bargaining, down the track.
However, as the guy has been charged with murder, police will further investigate: with what they now have, and further work, I believe her body will be found, following his movements, WITHOUT the cooperation of this guy.
Therefore, his 'not disclosing' will be AGAINST him.
HEE HEE.
Al my own thoughts, having followed from day 1, often in the background.

Nope, just that it possibly will be. We'll have to cool our jets until it is made absolutely clear it's been lifted. Look for the absolute avalanche of news articles naming names. That'll be the way to be sure.

You would think this would get easier to deal with after so many “deceased” cases we see. Most often we can tell which way a case is going to go, yet each time, there is always that sliver of hope in the back of my mind. I suppose we get vested in these cases and at some point it comes to an end. RIP Samantha…

Geoblocking can be used to stop Australian IP addresses from accessing those articles or from appearing in search engine results. Once a suppression order is made, applications can be submitted to google etc
Here we go folks… the floodgates have opened again… but what we really want is to find Sam!
I really feel for his parents/siblings in all this, especially with his father being mentioned in every news article.
That being said Samanthas family deserve to know where she is. I hope his parents have some influence over him and convince him to cooperate with police.
