Judge Glenn Walsh disallowed one line of questioning relating to Kate McClymont’s conversation with Jason Morrison.
Defence barrister Gabrielle Bashir, SC, put to McClymont later in the hearing that an article she wrote about Morrison in January 2024, which included his denial that he witnessed Jones doing anything untoward, was a “hit job” on Morrison.
“No,” McClymont replied.
“It was designed to look Morrison look bad,” Bashir said.
“No,” McClymont replies.
Bashir also puts to McClymont that she encouraged “C” to make a police complaint about Jones in January 2024.
“I didn’t encourage him; I supported him,” McClymont says.
