Former TV journalist Benjamin McCormack charged with more than 60 child abuse material offences
Mr McCormack, a former high-profile TV journalist with the Nine Network, had his matter mentioned in the Brisbane Arrests Court on Monday.
He is charged with 65 counts of using a carriage service to 'transmit, make available, publish, distribute, advertise or promote' child abuse material, three counts of failing to comply with his reporting obligations and a single count of giving false or misleading information.
According to court documents, the carriage service charges relate to allegations Mr McCormack transmitted audio files considered to be child abuse material on diverse dates over April to November last year.
The three reporting charges concern allegations he failed to notify child protection authorities about details concerning a social media site, 'digital devices' and a carriage service.
His last charge alleges he gave false or misleading information about a 'carriage service start date' to authorities.
Mr McCormack's matter was adjourned to September 5 on request by his lawyer.
He remains in custody on remand.

Wagga Wagga RSL club members rebel over alleged ban on Lest We Forget shirts
A bizarre blow-up over Lest We Forget shirts has hit RSL Australia. Members of the Wagga Wagga RSL claim a club representative instructed them to ditch their shirts, which sport a blue military design and bear the phrase Lest We Forget, claiming the phrase was trademarked by the RSL. David Ashford, speaking with 2GB on Friday morning, said he and his bowling friends had been told they 'couldn't wear the shirts or we might have to leave'. 'If we wear our shirts, we are not allowed to bowl,' he said. He said he and his fellow club members were 'disgusted' by the alleged ban. 'We wore it last Anzac Day and nobody said anything,' he said. But it is not clear if there is a ban in place. In a statement released to 2GB and read out on air by Ben Fordham, RSL Australia said it had not placed any restrictions on the shirts. 'This is the first time RSL Australia has been made aware of this matter,' the RSL said. 'And the RSL has not placed any restrictions on its use by the Wagga Wagga RSL club.' Fordham suggested someone might be 'telling lies' at the club. 'It may well be a trademark, but they are not enforcing it,' he said. 'It sounds like someone is telling lies at the Wagga RSL Bowling Club. 'My advice to those involved, just keep on wearing the shirts.'

‘Unsatisfactory': Fury amid revelations working with children check reforms could take up to a year
Attorney-General Michelle Rowland has revealed it could take up to 12 months to ensure convicted criminals applying for working with children checks (WWCC) cannot evade notice by applying interstate. Ms Rowland said reform was possible 'within certainly the next 12 months' so long as she secured support from state and territory counterparts at a meeting of the country's attorneys-general today. 'We envisage that the most immediate and urgent outcome is to achieve that 'banned in one, banned in all' aspect in the near term,' Ms Rowland told ABC Radio National on Friday morning. 'In the longer term, there needs to be a bar raised right across the states and territories to strengthen those criteria for working with children risk and exclusions. 'In terms of timing, these are matters that will be discussed today, so I don't want to pre-empt those outcomes … (but) in terms of the most immediate one to achieve — 'banned in one, banned in all' — I would like to think that this is something that is certainly capable of being done within certainly the next 12 months, if we can have a better sense of that following today's meeting, then that will be a good thing.' The Albanese government has proposed banning nationally anyone barred from working with children in one jurisdiction. Opposition leader Sussan Ley said a 12 month wait for reform of the WWCC system was unacceptable and 'completely unsatisfactory'. She claimed the government's response to reports of alleged child abuse lacked urgency, despite Anthony Albanese calling them a 'wake up call' for governments nationwide. 'The PM has talked a big game on fixing these issues but twelve months to deliver this isn't good enough,' Ms Ley said. 'We've done our bit in the federal parliament to work with the government to pass new laws but it is now up to the Prime Minister to lead and finish the job. 'The States and territories need to get their act together and accelerate this critically important piece of work to protect our kids.' Ms Ley said there needed to be 'stronger leadership' on the issue, and that the states and territories must be forced to act faster. 'Given the crisis we are seeing in our childcare centres, twelve months for the first set of changes is completely unsatisfactory,' she said. Multiple states and territories are grappling with the fallout from multiple high-profile cases of alleged abuse at childcare centres, namely in NSW and Victoria. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan last month announced measures for all childcare centres in the state to be required to ban personal mobile devices from September 26, and launched an 'urgent review into child safety' the findings of which are due on Friday. Further north, a NSW parliamentary inquiry into the childcare sector in NSW was told by a senior cop managing the child abuse squad that offenders 'shop around' for centres to offend at and urged for a database to be establish for police to be able to access.

Rape conviction overturned: South Burnett farmer wins rape appeal
A farmer who was found guilty of raping a British backpacker will face a fresh trial after Queensland's highest court overturned his conviction, ruling his first trial was marred by a miscarriage of justice. In a decision handed down on Friday, the Queensland Court of Appeal set aside Wayne Robert Green's convictions for procuring a sexual act by intimidation and rape, ordering a new trial on both charges. The ruling comes more than a year after a Kingaroy District Court jury found the Mondure farmer guilty on two counts following allegations from a backpacker who worked on his property. Green, 54, had pleaded not guilty to all charges but was jailed for more than three years in May 2024. Prosecutors claimed the woman, who had just $4 to her name and needed to complete 88 days of farm work to extend her visa, was offered money or the chance to keep her job in exchange for sex. The Kingaroy District Court was told she feared losing her visa and being left stranded in Australia if she refused. It was alleged Green sexually assaulted and raped her on separate occasions, including one incident where he was said to have been naked, aggressive, and pushing her head down during oral sex. The woman told the court she felt she had 'no choice,' while the defence argued her accounts were inconsistent, that her diary entries suggested she was relaxed during her stay, and that no forensic evidence supported the claims. Justices John Bond and Robert Gotterson found his trial had been compromised by a comment made by the trial judge during the summing-up to the jury. The judge had remarked that if the complainant 'actually' believed she would lose her job if she did not perform sex acts, then her behaviour would have been different to what she reported. The appeal court found this rhetorical comment undermined the jury's impartiality, stating it was 'not a neutral statement' and may have influenced jurors toward a guilty verdict. The court also criticised the handling of the complainant's evidence, which was given via video link from the United Kingdom. Repeated technical failures and delays left the complainant 'tired' and 'really stressed' during questioning, potentially affecting her credibility in the eyes of the jury. The justices said measures should have been taken to improve the process and address her fatigue to ensure fairness. On the count of procuring a sexual act by intimidation, the court found the evidence, particularly around the complainant's visa and employment situation, was not capable of proving intimidation as legally defined under Queensland's Criminal Code. The combined effect of the judicial comment, the video link problems, and the evidence issues meant the trial was unfair. Mr Green will now face a new trial on the two charges. He had been acquitted on a third charge at his original hearing. At sentencing, Judge Glen Cash said Green, a father of three, was 'aware of her circumstances' that the victim had no money and a desire to stay in Australia on her visa.
