I guess the major point here is that names can be named in Parliament without fear or favour. The problem arises when a case is sub judice and names are named.
The executive branch of government is very fussy about its independence from the judiciary and the converse is true for the judiciary.
When names are named and the matter is sub judice the waters are muddied and both parties start to get a little miffed because the clear separation of powers between the executive and judiciary are blurred.
This is not good for me, you,the rule of law and democracy.
It does not matter whether the subject of interest is Green or the next door neighbours cat. It is the fact that their is potential for conflict that is paramount and that the executive is preempting the power and independence ofthe judiciary. That is the only issue at stake here. That is why the issues are far greater than either the man or the dammed cat.

You may call it a canard if you wish. You are wrong.
