Tasmanian Women Lawyers has condemned the culture of secrecy that exists within the judiciary and has called for more information to be made available about a photograph of a Supreme Court judge embracing a younger court employee.
The Supreme Court of Tasmania has confirmed that it will be investigating Justice Gregory Geason after he was caught on camera embracing a young court employee following the state’s Opening of the Legal Year Dinner. While this is a welcome move, Tasmanian Women Lawyers (TWL) said the details are not transparent.
