Palaszczuk's partner Reza Adib charged with three counts of rape

Reza Adib, partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, has been charged with three counts of rape following a police raid on a Burleigh Heads unit.

Charges have been laid and a court will hear them — that's how courts work. Sky's headline leads with a former premier who hasn't been accused of anything, because her name sells the click. The presumption of innocence is alive and well; it just doesn't fit in a chyron.
