A high-profile advocate of the woman who accused Christian Porter of raping her 30 years ago has been awarded more than $400,000 in costs after the federal court forced the former attorney general’s barrister to stand down during an ABC defamation case.
Jo Dyer, a former chief executive of the Sydney writers’ festival, became one of the most prominent advocates of Porter’s deceased accuser after the former attorney general outed himself as the unnamed minister in an ABC story revealing a dossier detailing the rape claim had been circulated to politicians.
