  2. The anonymity of Mr Dodson should have been preserved UNTIL he was proven guilty. He wasn’t guilty therefore no one should have known or exposed his identity. It is time for a change in the law.

    • This is an issue considered by parliament on a number of occasions. Lobbying your MP on this thorny subject might help? Until the law is changed, we are stuck with the law as it is.
