Welcome to the Queensland legal system, it's a complete crock... Judges just want to stay employed, along with all their mates in the legal system...
Anyways, you were advised that this would end up going to trial, but once again don't be surprised if they pull the pin on it at the 11th hour. Now the waste of tax payers dollars begins, and the police have to do some actual police work, and you will have to make sure you follow up on getting a copy of the the "updated" QP9 at least a week before trial so you can see what information they are relying on.
