I don't know if this is how normal people are treated i AUS, if they also get confidentiallity in these cases, then it is hard to argue that it is unfair, but if normal people do get their names reveiled, then that should happen to the police as well.
I believe if here are relevant circumstances, like if they are a minor but this really smacks of a cover up.
Hopefully the judge rejects their request or there is a valid reason for not disclosing their name for 40 years...
