The fight between the Australian Guild of Music Education and its former chief Bernadette Norton this week reached the Federal Court after the school first filed suit against her in December 2019. The guild is a not-for-profit music and speech school in ritzy Kooyong that provides tertiary degrees at an average of A$17,000 a year, certificates and diplomas.
