A Queensland law that suppressed Lehrmann's name from being published was changed in October, and his request for an interim non-publication order has been rejected.
Bruce Lehrmann can now be named as the man facing two counts of rape in court in Queensland His identity had previously remained secret - with the media referring to him as a "high profile man - in light of Queensland law which suppressed the names of people charged with sexual offences before being committed for trial. This law was changed in October, but Lehrmann was granted an interim non-publication order.
Speaking in court at a hearing earlier this month, Lehrmann's barrister, Andrew Hoare, said the court should continue its interim non-publication order as his client had been diagnosed with mental health conditions that caused ideas of self-harm.
