Courts slam harassment after Heydon report
The heads of Australia's commonwealth courts have united to condemn sexual harassment in the wake of the Dyson Heydon scandal.
They have committed to reviewing existing policies and making sure staff understand them, after an independent inquiry found Mr Heydon sexually harassed six associates while he was a High Court judge.
"Sexual harassment in any workplace is unlawful and wholly unacceptable. It is also contrary to the demands of justice that judicial officers are sworn to uphold," they said in a joint statement on Friday.
