Judge criticises Stokes and Kennett over Amber Harrison media attacks

A supreme court judge has condemned media attacks and “the war” on Amber Harrison by Seven West Media’s Kerry Stokes and Jeff Kennett, after he extended a gag order banning her from releasing documents relating to her affair with CEO Tim Worner and her employment with the company.

A NSW Supreme Court judge said Harrison may not cease her social media attacks on Seven unless restrained by a court order

Justice Robert McDougall handed down his reasons for extending Seven’s injunction against Harrison, noting he had little confidence Harrison would cease her social media attacks on Worner and SWM unless she was restrained by a court order.

Harrison – the former executive assistant to then-Pac Mags CEO Nick Chan – and Worner began a two-year affair in 2012, but the relationship broke down when she was transferred to the same building as Worner.
