Podcasts about Dyson Heydon

On this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Blumers Personal Injury Lawyers, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Blumers director Noor Blumer about the state of affairs for confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and the extent to which such arrangements can come into conflict with the principle of open justice. Ms Blumer details how confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements pertain to our understanding of justice, the extent to which they are prevalent in litigious proceedings, the increase in complainants publicly disclosing the offences allegedly committed against them, and recent cases — including the allegations against Dyson Heydon and the Fox News saga in the United States — that have led the charge on such public disclosure. She also outlines the nexus of such conversations to defamation proceedings, community perceptions and how social media reinforces certain biases, and whether law reform is needed to improve justice processes.

Former Defence Minister Linda Reynolds has confirmed that she was advised on Friday that her former staffer Brittany Higgins intends to file a compensation claim — that could climb as high as $3 million. News.com.au revealed over the weekend that Ms Higgins' legal team had entered negotiations over a bombshell multimillion-dollar personal injury claim. It's believed the claim includes $2.5 million for future economic loss, past economic loss, general damages of future assistance with at-home care and past and future out-of-pocket expenses of a further $150,000. Lawyers acting for Ms Higgins indicated they were pressing ahead with the claim on Friday, the same day that it was announced the charge against Bruce Lehrmann would be dropped and the criminal trial would not proceed based on a risk to the life of the complainant, who remains hospitalised in Queensland. “I confirm that I was advised in March this year by Blumers, who act for Brittany Higgins, of a civil claim by Ms Higgins against me and other parties,” Senator Reynolds said. “However, proceedings are yet to be filed. Blumers advised me yesterday that their client intends to progress the civil claim this month.” Ms Higgins also took to Instagram on Sunday, posting a text version of the speech she gave outside the ACT court when the first trial ended over juror misconduct. The speech angered defence lawyers because among other issues it claimed that Mr Lehrmann, who has always maintained his innocence, was never asked to hand over his phone to police. In fact, he was required to surrender his phone to police, with calls he made raised by prosecutors and the defence during the trial. Mr Lehrmann, who was originally charged over her alleged rape, is also considering civil remedies for a cash payout, with his legal team considering a Comcare claim, defamation action against media outlets and unfair dismissal from the jobs he lost after the allegations emerged. Mr Lehrmann has always maintained his innocence and was never convicted of any crime. Sources who have seen the legal documentation supporting Ms Higgins' claim say that it includes compensation for lost earnings, future earnings and at-home support for Ms Higgins, who has not worked full-time since she went public with her account of an alleged incident at Parliament House. The three respondents named in the legal correspondence are Senator Reynolds, who was Ms Higgins' direct employer at the time she was found in the ministerial suite by a security guard in 2019, Liberal frontbencher Michaelia Cash, and the Commonwealth. But an official claim has not been filed while parties prepare to enter into mediation talks. Ms Higgins' personal lawyer Leon Zwier, who was a regular fixture at her criminal case in Canberra, is aware of the claim. However, Ms Higgins is being represented in the personal injury matter by Noor Blumer, a founding partner of Blumers Lawyers who has practised as a personal injury lawyer since 1992. Ms Blumer has been quietly negotiating the claim since February. It follows former Prime Minister Scott Morrison's apology to Ms Higgins in parliament for the “many terrible experiences Ms Higgins has detailed during her time working at Parliament House and the treatment that she has described receiving whilst working here”. But he insisted that apology was “by no means a reflection on the matters before a court”. Ms Blumer declined to comment on the matter or any mediation talks when contacted. A leading Canberra lawyer, Ms Blumer previously went public with her own complaint that former High Court judge Dyson Heydon tried to touch her leg under a table and kiss her at University of Canberra Law ball several years ago. Mr Heydon issued a statement at the time through his lawyers denying “emphatically any allegation of sexual harassment or any offence”. News of the compensation claim follows shock revelations over the weekend that police “unlawfully” sent Ms Higgins private counselling notes to Mr Lehrmann's original defence team – who insisted they didn't open it. Further revelations that police held concerns there was insufficient evidence to charge Mr Lehrmann were also leaked to The Weekend Australian, prompting the prosecutor Shane Drumgold to raise concerns that this was – potentially – another unlawful disclosure. Last year, Senator Reynolds offered a confidential defamation settlement to Ms Higgins after it emerged she had privately referred to her as a “lying cow”. The money was donated to charity. But Liberal sources said Ms Reynolds, who gave dramatic evidence at the criminal trial this year, was reluctant to settle the case. “She will never, ever, agree to settle,” a Liberal source said. The other former minister named in the claim, Senator Cash, emphatically denied in the ACT Supreme Court that she knew of Ms Higgins' rape allegations more than a year before it became public in February 2021. “Not a sexual element, no,” Senator Cash said. “The first time that she mentioned an (alleged) sexual element was I think in the conversation on the 5th of February 2021.” - by Samantha Maiden, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Van Badham and Ben Davison dive into the politics of the week - and what it tells us about the broader state of the nation. Morrison appeared on 60 Minutes playing the ukulele while his NSW Liberal Party colleagues were being resoundingly spanked in by-elections across the state.  With nurses going on strike about a lack of staff at over 150 hospitals (during a pandemic) - and rolling industrial actions across the train network - it is easy to see why. At the federal level, the Morrison Liberals aren't doing any better.  The aged care crisis is now exposing the dire state of our sovereign capacity with only 106 of the promised 1,500 defence personnel actually in aged care facilities.  The government's own committee has stated the NDIS will need another 83,000 full-time workers in the next two years - yet the sector is "overworked, underpaid, undervalued and poorly trained".  And total "payroll" wages in the economy dropped nearly 9% in January on the back of the total number of "payroll jobs" (a measure of jobs that are sometimes more secure) dropping nearly 6%. Even on COVID Morrison is still failing, with January 2022 costing more lives than any month in 2021. Van and Ben also look at the Dyson Heydon sexual harassment case settlement and draw together the strands of how the Liberal party treats the powerful - like Heydon - vs how they attack the disempowered and the vulnerable, like Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins.  Plus TWO good news stories.  The first on clean energy from ammonia and the second on reforestation in India that includes an improvement in the social conditions for women.

An internal inquiry has found a Federal Circuit Court judge harassed two young women, after one of them made a complaint to the court. The inquiry found that a Parramatta-based judge repeatedly emailed the junior staff member with harassing comments, the behaviour escalated to two instances of unwanted touching. The woman made a complaint to the court in April last year and has been on mental health leave since. Alarmingly, when the woman raised her concerns, she was initially told “there's not much you can do about it because he's a judge” The other complainant, a law student, made her complaint in September last year. The latest findings of poor behaviour from a judge comes after former high court judge Dyson Heydon was found to be a serial sexual harasser of young women. Today on Please Explain, senior writer Jacqueline Maley joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss the latest findings of poor behaviour in Australian courts.

As is the case with one student, young lawyers who have not been a victim of sexual harassment and bullying are fast becoming the exception and not the rule. In an effort to address the culture of silence that exists around these experiences and to push the profession further towards eradicating both, a team of students has created an online platform designed for anonymous reporting. In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Naomi Neilson is joined by juris doctorate candidates Amer Nasr and Erica Giulione and bachelor of arts and law student Marcus Lee, three members behind online reporting platform Confidant. With help from two other students, Confidant could pave the way to a safer profession. Long before the Dyson Heydon findings in 2020 and possibly long after the most recent, harrowing reports in April, sexual harassment and bullying have been a plague on the profession made worse by a fear of coming forward. In this episode, the three members talk about how the platform could address this culture of silence by allowing victims to share their stories without fear of repercussion.  As part of the episode, all three students share why they think this app is so important to the profession today and how damaging the culture of silence has been to either their own personal experiences or those of their peers.  They also talk listeners through some of the other useful features, including options to take further action by consulting internal and external support systems. Victims may also be alerted when other users have reported the same person, which could give them all the confidence to come forward with their stories publicly.  Have a listen to the episode below!  If you have any questions about the episode or if there are any topics that you might want us to look into, please reach out – we would love to hear from you!  We're also always open to new guests so if you have an exciting story to tell, if you're standing out as a student or graduate, or if you can offer some tips for our young lawyers, get in touch.  You can reach us here: Emails: editor@lawyersweekly.com.au or naomi.neilson@momentummedia.com.au Socials: Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter or reach out to me directly here.

Ep. 40 Rachel Doyle SCRachel is one of the country's most senior female barristers. She has taken the extraordinary step of writing a book (Power and Consent) which directly addresses the allegations of sexual harassment by 6 former Judges Associates against a former High Court Judge, Dyson Heydon.And the current Chief Justice of the High Court, Justice Susan Kiefel, not only believes these women, she has personally apologised to each of them for their appalling treatment. It's all unprecedented in the legal world. That's what makes this turn of events so fascinating and timely.Rachel explores these events through the prism of two vital topics…power and consent, as the title of the book would imply. And what she finds makes for a sobering discussion.We explore how we could possibly get to this situation and,  some answers she proposes. They're simple….and brilliant. And having been a barrister for over 25 years, her views and thoughts are worth listening to. Rachel's book, Power and Consent can be found at Booktopia:https://www.booktopia.com.au/power-consent-rachel-doyle/book/9781922464125.html?dsa=s1-east&gclid=CjwKCAjwqvyFBhB7EiwAER786ReMxFjszmslAhonB05q0W_6mzbEFdR4pOZa-Z-1AOFLQVPkuoz4vhoCJeMQAvD_BwE#Reallyinterestingwomen #RIW #racheldoyle #powerandconsent 

Scott Morrison says he will “not indulge in extrajudicial processes” despite calls for an independent inquiry into an historical rape allegation levelled against Christian Porter.The Attorney-General has been accused of raping a 16-year old in 1988, an allegation he emphatically denies.The alleged victim took her own life in 2020, a day after informing she no longer wanted to pursue the complaint.The Prime Minister has faced growing calls to launch an independent inquiry into the allegation after NSW Police declined to investigate it, citing “insufficient admissible evidence”.Mr Morrison backed a coronial inquiry in South Australia, where the woman died, if “coroners see fit”.But he told reporters on Tuesday he would “not indulge” the idea of an independent probe, arguing it would undermine equality before the law.“There is not a separate legal process that applies to the Attorney-General or anyone else. There's only one rule of law here,” he told reporters on Tuesday.“I'm not going to indulge in other extrajudicial processes that suggest that one Australian is subject to a different legal process to any other Australian.“If we do that, we are eroding the very principles of the rule of law in this country. There are not two laws in this country.”But Labor frontbencher Tanya Plibersek dismissed the claim as “nonsense”, citing an investigation into sexual harassment allegations against former High Court judge Dyson Heydon.Labor and the Greens have called for an independent probe. Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce broke ranks on Monday, saying the move was necessary to avoid a media “mosh pit”.Ms Plibersek said Australians needed to be convinced Mr Porter was fit to hold his role despite no formal police investigation.“We have a very serious allegation against the first law officer of the land. He needs to be above reproach and beyond doubt, and tragically the complainant in the case is not here to pursue all legal avenues herself,” she said.She also accused the Coalition of hypocrisy, saying they weaponised an inquiry into whether former prime minister Julia Gillard had used union money to pay for a home renovation in 1994.“This is a government that spent $86m on a royal commission into whether Julia Gillard's boyfriend built her bathroom 30 years ago,” she said.With rapes under-reported and convictions rates low, Ms Plibersek said victims needed to be given confidence in the legal system.“Let's see some reforms that would make it a little easier to make these claims and a little fairer when it comes to properly determining what's happened,” she said.It comes after revelations the alleged victim told a counsellor about the allegation in 2013 aired on the ABC's Four Corners on Monday.

Last month, an independent investigation commissioned by the high court of Australia found former high court justice Dyson Heydon sexually harassed six junior court staff, allegations which Heydon categorically denies. But this case has prompted an outpouring of stories about a culture of harassment and gender bias in the legal industry

Last week, a bombshell rocked Australia's legal world. Former Justice of the High Court, Dyson Heydon was accused of several cases of sexual harassment. Yet, it was a bombshell many weren't surprised by. According to female lawyers young and old, sexism has long been a scourge of the profession, and one that is difficult to fight.  The Quicky speak to a group of lawyers who want to share their story.  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests:  Suzie Miller, former Human Rights Lawyer, Playwright 'Prima Facie'; Yana and Evelyn, junior lawyers.  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

As further allegations surfaced in the High Court, Lawyer MICHAEL BYRNES explains to John why some may have turned a blind eye Michael says Judges are human but they are also extraordinarily brilliant, egotistical and they have flaws. Judges are not not immune from human frailty. The #metoo movement showed us that no matter how powerful people are, they should be held to account.  Michael says most of the time, working for a judge is a good experience but if someone is starting out in their career, they can be vulnerable. The “inappropriate” line was drawn decades ago but people still need to feel empowered to call out sexual harassment

Dyson Heydon has spent more than half his life with the banner of “brilliant legal mind.” What are the perks of being labeled a “brilliant legal mind”? In Australia, it apparently means you can harass and violate young women without any accountability.This week, we chat about male judges like Heydon and Brett Kavanaugh and Alex Kozinski, and their criminal behaviour. In this country's most powerful legal institutions, the perpetual unmitigated acclaim that powerful men give each other ensures the systemic harassment and assault of the industry's most vulnerable members – young women – continues. It effectively ensures women are kept out.Powerful men target a woman's most vulnerable (and, according to society, her most valuable) asset: her sexuality. They know by doing this, women are reduced to pieces of meat. It's a strategy – to exert power, keep us out, to destroy every other part of us. And, often, they succeed.Also discussed: being a follower is boring, capitalist advocacy, Fleabag.
