High Court Judge who famously stated he was beyond bias has tried to f*ck with his asociates and not just his political opponents.
Well f*ck me 
An Independent High Court invesigation has found the old f*cker was a f*cker, a letch, a sexual abuser and a sexual predator abusing his position of power.

I for one simply can't believe that a man who felt he could not possibly have any bias would think he's touching was untouchable.

One by one, Abbott's crooked cronies have their lecherous past exposed. First Pell, now Dyson Heydon. These things come in threes. So who's next? My money is on the big banana. Yes, Clownshoes himself.

How people like that can get away with it until they retire is just mind blowing. I know the legal professional isn't known for its morality but ethics and procedure seem to be pretty important. Like Harvey Weinstein the guy obviously had power to ruin careers but how could there be no recourse for these women until now? Isn't there character requirements to be allowed to practice law, like it doesn't take much to get disbarred or whatever the term is here.
Not sure what Abbott has to do with it beyond appointing him, not really adding much by bringing him into it. It's a long article and his name is nothing but a footnote. |

I think the legal profession is one of the last bastions of the entrenched boys clubs mentality with their elitist ways of thinking to be brought into the 21st century. This is exemplified in the hierarchical structure of the judicial system.

Do try to keep up. Abbott was the scumbag who appointed the scumbag in the first place. Abbott wanted a sham royal commission to stitch up Bill Shorten. Pure dirty politics from start to finish, and nobody does dirty politics like a New South Wales Liberal. There was never any chance that an honest investigation would do any harm, so Abbott called up his old hard-right crony and mentor, Dyson Heydon and tasked him with doing whatever it took to nail Shorten. Abbott and Heydon go way back; Heydon was instrumental in getting the young Abbott a prestigious scholarship in the early 1980s, and he remained active in hard-right political circles.
Heydon was willing and eager to be Abbott's attack dog, but after months of effort, even he could not overcome a complete lack of evidence of any wrongdoing and the whole plan came to nothing.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-14/former-high-court-judge-dyson-heydon-compensation-payment/100829210
| Quote: | Three women who were sexually harassed by former High Court justice Dyson Heydon have secured a historic compensation payout.
The women's lawyer, Josh Bornstein, said he believed it was the first settlement under the Sex Discrimination Act for findings of sexual harassment against a serving federal judge.
The High Court apologised publicly to the trio — Rachel Patterson Collins, Chelsea Tabart and Alex Eggerking — as well as to three other unnamed women in 2020 after an independent investigation, led by Vivienne Thom, upheld their allegations.
Five of the women had worked as associates to Mr Heydon, while the other had worked for a different High Court justice.
After Dr Thom completed her inquiry, Chief Justice Susan Kiefel said the findings were of "extreme concern" to all of the court's justices and staff.
"We're ashamed that this could have happened at the High Court of Australia," she said in a statement. |
