Jo Dyer, a friend of the woman who accused Christian Porter of sexual assault in 1988 (which he denies), has brought an urgent federal court application seeking to force one of Porter's barristers off the ABC defamation case.

Porter is represented by Sue Chrysanthou SC in the defamation case he launched against the public broadcaster. Dyer's application argues Chrysanthou should be removed from the case because she advised her on a separate but related matter.

Yesterday proceedings were commenced against Sue Chrysanthou SC in the Federal Court. Sue is briefed on my behalf in my case against the ABC and Louise Milligan. These proceedings seek an order that she be restrained by the court from appearing as my barrister in my defamation proceedings.

It has been widely known for two months that Sue has been acting as my Counsel in this well publicised matter - yet the action has come shortly before court appearances on significant issues in the proceedings and over eight weeks after they were commenced.
