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 contrast could not be more stark.
The outcome of a year-long investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against a judge of the Federal Circuit Court is yet another reminder that the struggle for gender equality has a long way to go. The investigation found that the judge had engaged in unwelcome sexualised conduct towards two women, one employed at the Federal Circuit Court in Sydney and the other a former law student.
It comes just days after the airing of allegations of sexual harassment against an unidentified cabinet minister in the Morrison government by former Liberal Party politician, Julia Banks. To date, no action has been announced to address these allegations.
