Canberra Liberals MLA Elizabeth Lee issues a statement claiming she was sexually harassed by former High Court Judge Dyson Heydon, after six former judges' associates also allege sexual harassment by Mr Heydon.

Canberra Liberals MLA Elizabeth Lee has claimed she was sexually harassed by former High Court Judge Dyson Heydon at the 2013 University of Canberra Law Ball.Dyson Heydon has denied all allegations of wrongdoing and apologised if his behaviour has caused offence

"It must have taken so much for these women to speak up and get the ball rolling on the investigation that has led to this being uncovered," she said. She alleged Mr Heydon pressured her into coming to his hotel room in a way that was sexually suggestive. Mr Heydon was appointed to the High Court bench by the Howard Government in 2003, and served until he reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 in 2013.

"Whilst I didn't have the courage back then to report or to talk to anyone about it, if I now in my position, with the voice that I have, don't do it when this second time has arrived, then will I look back in seven years time and think 'I really did a disservice to some of the younger women who may be going through the same torment'?"

So Dyson is 77. She was probablt told, sorry love but you're not good enough, pat her on the shoulder and said there there don't cry, boom sexual harassment. This seems like a vindictive assault against a very successful man, hey let's throw some race in too, white maybe?

Kathy Sherriff says hello.

kuku27 This is mighty serious charge

Some womem will sell themselves to the highest bidder. Then when they reach their limit or goal, they make claims of sexual harassment, even decades afterwards.

Watch support swing back behind Judge Heydon, now.

We believe you, Elizabeth. WithYou

Maybe she was a bit skinnier then.

This doesn’t sound like sexual harassment to me. It’s a pretty straight forward proposition 😉 (Get it?)

Remarkable that alleged victims want to talk after so long. ...and then of course we have folk the calibre of HC justices who have more class and culture to respond to any trollop with an axe to grind!

Not right

She's only good for a poke

Not possible according to Howard. But that asshole gives character references to all the scum it seems.

Lier

Yeay, yeah, yeah and I had a home invasion by a tooth fairy many years ago. It left a sixpence.

It’s a non-event get over it’s

A single question reverberates throughout the Dyson Heydon affairCOMMENT: If a woman cannot be safe in the highest court in the land, a place of probity, integrity and rectitude, then where can she be? Don’t confuse the High Court with being in the company of members of the High Court. In time all men will be accused at some level. Whether it be sexism, bullying or assault. It is the fashion now, the way to win an argument or a payout, to assassinate character. Metoo weaponised, believe all women default. Beware ladies, they’re coming for your sons. We are not safe anywhere.

Fresh allegations levelled against ex-judge Dyson HeydonFormer High Court judge Dyson Heydon allegedly sexually harassed young women while he was Trade Unions royal commissioner. Good, this is unacceptable behaviour from any man/boss let alone a judge who's supposed to uphold the law and protect victims. I now wonder who will come out and defend him, we shall see. Is anyone else wondering what it would take for ScottMorrisonMP to finally revoke Heydon's AC? Creepy powermonger.
