It’s the sore that continues to fester inside the Victorian Bar. A lavish November 2019 dinner attended by judges and Attorney-General
Christian Porter at the South Yarra home of outgoing president,
Matt Collins QC, to mark the end of his two-year stint. Guests spoke of a sumptuous but tasteful spread, with the Bar’s governing council picking up the tab – enraging some of its fee-paying barristers in the process.
On Friday, the governing council finally revealed the cost of that tab: $11,500.
Former foreign minister Julie Bishop says she was surprised neither Prime Minister Scott Morrison nor Attorney-General Christian Porter had read the anonymous letter containing details of the historical rape allegation denied by Mr Porter.
The woman who alleges she was raped by Attorney-General Christian Porter “reassured” herself in the six years afterwards that the pair would one day be married.
