Heywood to have case re-heard by different magistrate | New England Times
Former University of New England Vice Chancellor boss Brigid Heywood, who is facing assault and offensive behaviour charges, will have her case re-heard, following a courtroom dispute between her lawyer and a magistrate
[10] “…It is alleged that as attendees mingled following the conclusion of the event’s formalities, Ms Heywood licked her index finger and wiped it on a schoolgirl’s face, making an offensive and racist comment as she did so.”
[132] “His Honour effectively rebuffed concerns raised by Mr Pappas during the hearing about the overly zealous objections being taken by Sgt Smith. The way Mr Pappas chose to voice his concerns was offensive, supercilious and unprofessional, but the initial even-handedness of the Magistrate evaporated and gave way to sarcasm and belittling of Mr Pappas.”
