An extremely powerful man preyed on young women forging a career in the law.
Now the legal and media fraternities are ‘restoring his reputation’.
Lawyer Dyson Heydon is considered to be one of Australia’s pre-eminent legal figures.
He was once a justice with Australia’s High Court.
But that ended – or so we though – when an investigation found he sexually harassed multiple young women.
He’s also accused of assaulting one.
Some of the women were awarded a payout from the Federal Government.
Heydon denied every allegation, saying he was “sorry for any inadvertent and unintended offence” his behaviour caused.
Now his mates are ‘recasting him as a victim’ in order to rehabilitate his reputation.

Barristers and law firms are buying his new textbook in droves.
Former judge Michael Kirby wrote the foreword to the book and the launch was attended by Justice Michael Lee – the guy who oversaw the Bruce Lehrmann defamation trial.
The NSW Law Society is doing all they can to give their so-called ‘good bloke’ colleague a platform. – even providing unfettered access to their facilities.
These facilities are used by young women starting their legal careers.
The Australian published a piece, where the female writer makes every effort to minimise his behavior.
Ironically, one of the victims told this writer about the abuse.
Heydon preyed on Rachael Patterson Collins (she’s now now an author and a legal scholar).
“The men now working to rehabilitate Heydon … never saw his predation,” she writes in the SMH.
“They weren’t his targets. His charm and wit never came with a proposition. That behaviour was reserved for young women like me.
“Those scrambling to restore Heydon’s reputation aren’t defending constitutionalism – they’re protecting a mate.”
