Defence personnel onboard the helicopter that sparked the Orroral Valley fire have had their names anonymised and suppressed as part of an inquiry despite there being no security issue raised and only the possibility of "some sort of prejudice" that includes "social media trolling".
The inquiry into the January 2020 fire that tore through about 80 per cent of the Namadgi National Park returned to the ACT Coroner's Court on Monday when counsel assisting the coroner Kylie Nomchong SC made the application to anonymise the relevant names in transcripts.
