Episode Details

New South Wales top prosecutor Sally Dowling has secured court approval to pursue a senior judges removal from a historical sexual offenses trial. The Supreme Court ruled that concerns over Judge Penelope Wasss potential bias can proceed, stemming from a heated dispute between Dowling and Wass. Wass had previously criticized Dowling in a parliamentary submission, accusing her of leaking details about an Indigenous child involved in a case. Dowling has denied any wrongdoing and accused Wass of a personal grudge. The recusal application against Wass remains undecided, and parliaments privileges committee is investigating whether Dowlings team broke rules by using the submission.
