Good morning, and welcome back to The Briefing.
Robert Doyle has resigned as Lord Mayor of Melbourne and chair of Melbourne Health after multiple allegations of sexual harassment prompted an inquiry.
Doyle took leave from the mayoralty in December after City of Melbourne councillor Tessa Sullivan resigned, claiming she and other women had experienced “repeated sexual harassment which had made their workplace intolerable”. Speaking to the Herald Sun ($), Doyle’s lawyer, Nick Ruskin, claimed Doyle “has been through a period which he feels has lacked any semblance of natural justice”, and was recently hospitalised to recover from “the toll that the last seven weeks has had”.
