What are Australia’s Courts Hiding from the Public?

Court orders suppression of alleged Gouger St shooter’s identity

THE face of the man accused of the third Gouger St shooting in five months is now a state secret.
The Adelaide Magistrates Court today banned publication of the image of Soniard Mrishaj,(an Albanian Muslim) whom prosecutors allege injured one man and almost shot two others during the early-morning gunfight on Sunday morning.
The court also banned any written or verbal description of the 23-year-old, saying his identity could be a “critical” piece of evidence in the case against him.
Mrishaj, of Henley Beach, made a brief appearance in court today.
The Advertiser understands he is originally from Albania, and is in Australia on a visitor’s visa.
He has yet to plead to charges of aggravated causing harm, endangering life and possessing a firearm.
About 1am on Sunday, a young man was shot in the leg outside Gaucho’s Argentinian Restaurant.
A stray bullet narrowly missed a woman and driver in a nearby taxi when two shots were fired by a man with a handgun following an alleged dispute between two groups of men.
The woman received minor cuts from flying glass.
Today, Mark Griffin, QC, for Mrishaj, asked the court order home detention and bail assessment reports regarding his client.
He also asked Mrishaj’s image and “current physical description” be suppressed “until further order”.
“Identity will be a critical issue in this case,” he said.
“Media publication of his image would prejudice the proper administration of justice.”
Magistrate Michael Ward imposed the suppression, ordered the reports and remanded Mrishaj in custody until Monday.
Sunday’s incident was the third shooting in one of Adelaide’s premier restaurant strips in the past five months.
In May, 12 men allegedly linked with outlaw motorcycle gangs were involved in a wild shootout outside Gaucho’s, forcing diners to duck under tables for cover.
In June, a teenage gunman fired several shots through a window at the Buddha Bar.

Too small?
Click hereThis is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.But you won't be back, trust me on that.Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Nice to see how Australia’s court system is a lot like that in the US-broken.
