The Melbourne Age reports
Barrister Denis Connell has had his security pass blocked while he is investigated for allegedly abusive and drunken behaviour.
Readers might remember Connell for co-hosting the cult 3RRR show Lawyers, Guns and Money (named after the Warren Zevon song) with talkback king Ross Stevenson in the 1980s. He also covered the Tour de France for many years.
A complaint was recently lodged against Connell with Barrister Chambers Limited, which leases out swish office space to those in the profession. CBD has heard five complaints were made against Connell. These included allegations he called a female barrister a “c—” and told another to “f— off”. There were also claims about excessive drinking and sleeping in the chambers.
