History

Historical Context

Australia’s 2026 Sydney Federal Court testimony echoes the October 2017 Tracey Spicer probe that gathered 470 reports—including Don Burke’s—prompting the NOW Australia legal-support campaign and the Australian Human Rights Commission’s first-of-its-world workplace-harassment inquiry. The earlier global #MeToo surge, founded by Tarana Burke in 2006 and popularized by Alyssa Milano’s October 15, 2017 tweet, set the precedent for stricter court standards.
