The judge in Sally Rugg’s federal court case against the independent MP Monique Ryan and the commonwealth has warned it may be “simply unworkable” for her to return to work pending the final hearing.
In a hearing on Friday after the breakdown of mediation, Justice Debra Mortimer said she had never “seen a case like this” – of an employee seeking an interim injunction to keep their job in what both Rugg and Ryan accepted was an “intense, personal working relationship”.
