A judicial dispute over a leaked court detail sparked probes and inquiries into NSW's justice system independence.
A dispute between NSW Judge Penelope Wass and Director of Public Prosecutions Sally Dowling has triggered a police probe and two parliamentary inquiries.
Wass accused Dowling’s office of leaking details about an Indigenous youth’s court appearance—where she allowed a Welcome to Country video—leading to public backlash and claims of a campaign to undermine her independence.
The leak, reported by Sydney radio station 2GB in October 2024, drew criticism, though Dowling said she was unaware of it until days before broadcast.
The ODPP alleged the inquiry unfairly surprised Dowling by releasing Wass’s 68-page submission without notice.
The conflict has raised concerns about judicial independence, media influence, and prosecutorial transparency in NSW’s justice system.
