the complainant did so much to destroy any evidence that could have been used in getting a conviction against the accused. including changing phones deleting texts and refusing to hand over her phone(s) to police.and all that over the cloths they wore that night. the impression I've got from the court case is that it seems it was only when faced with the prospect of losing their job that a complaint was made, some many months later. that has nothing to do with the system. the complainant was not someone from a disadvantaged background, on the contrary is a university educated political staffer with access and connections to the best resources. had the complainant gone to the doctors and police at the time of the incident all the evidence to convict would have been available and as such would have been so overwhelming that it would have been unlikely to have to take the stand the complainant in this case then went on a media blitz, impossible to protect someone in that situation. but by your reasoning of the concept of innocent till proven guilty was not extended to the accused. as the accused was hounded in the media, and elsewhere for months on end. nothing would please me more for the accused to be put in jail but their guilt must be proved.

Agree but the accused is about to stand trial for a second rape accusation in Qld. The rape happening during the media storm apparently different woman.
