This follows a period of immense public scrutiny of the state of open justice in Victoria following two high-profile events. The first was the public consternation that followed the revelation that convicted rapist Tom Silvagni, son of football legend Stephen Silvagni and media personality Jo Silvagni, had obtained a suppression order over his identity on mental health grounds. Unfortunately, there are many more such cases, but we can’t discuss them as they remain suppressed. The second was the

A hot dog Reuben is the deli classic you didn’t expect to make in an air fryer
