The Australian government has apologised to three women who worked for the country's most powerful court, awarding them an undisclosed settlement after they were found to have been sexually harassed by a High Court justice.
The settlement was reached almost two years after a review conducted for the court found six female staff had been sexually harassed by Dyson Heydon, who served on the High Court of Australia for a decade until 2013.
Attorney-General Michaelia Cash said in a statement on Monday the government recognised the bravery of the three women in telling their stories.
