A Victorian judge is facing mandatory training and counseling after the Judicial Commission found some of his courtroom comments during sex offense trials to be unfair and inappropriate—though it didn’t confirm bullying. The barrister who filed the complaint said his remarks were disrespectful and undermined her professional dignity. Key quotes included suggesting counsel didn’t need to “cheat” and expressing unease about submissions—behavior deemed unprofessional and potentially hurtful. While the judge denies wrongdoing, the Chief Judge of the County Court will now decide next steps, reinforcing the need for unwavering respect and decorum in judicial proceedings.
