Here’s the polite report in Lawyers Weekly (below)
All we can say is that these people and government have not a shred of decency in one strand of DNA of their collective and singular bodies.
They fight the fact that they have a duty of care for children with regard to the environment and they care not a jot for women sexually harassed by a High court judge. I’ll repeat that, a high court judge.
To say they are rotten to the core would be a massive understatement.
Apparently, the Australian PM is a great believer in this God stuff so there is the hope that if there are some pearly gates when he gets to them he and his cohorts of so-called believers will get a full bollocking and we’d a hope a bit of old testament wrath too
One of the women sexually harassed by former High Court justice Dyson Heydon has spoken publicly about the Morrison government’s repeated delays to achieve a settlement, adding that every new communication in the long-overdue process has triggered the anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder from the incidents.
In June last year, an independent inquiry found justice Heydon sexually harassed six young women as they worked as judge’s associates in Australia’s High Court. More than a year on, one of these victims, Alex Eggerking, said she is still yet to receive a settlement due to the Morrison government’s ongoing delays.
On learning that the latest settlement conference, scheduled for Wednesday, 3 November, was cancelled by the government over claims that those required to approve compensation packages were unavailable, Ms Eggerking said: “I felt gutted when my lawyers told me the Commonwealth cancelled the negotiation.”
Ms Eggerking said that since the High Court’s own investigation found Mr Heydon had sexually harassed six women, she has gone “above and beyond” to provide the government with evidence of the harm she has suffered because of the harassment.
“Every week this matter continues is an extra week I have to manage life with debilitating anxiety caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, where every step, every communication in this compensation process triggers my illness,” she said.
“Every week is an extra week I have no income as the precariousness of my mental health makes it too difficult to work. Every week is a week I am not able to direct my energies towards improving my mental health and moving beyond this chapter.”
Chief Justice Susan Kiefel confirmed the findings in June 2020 and said they were of “extreme concern”. The Chief Justice also added that she made sincere apologies to the six women, praised them for coming forward with their stories and would share with the court their “insights and suggestions for change” to the culture.
