Dogs-loving Vic judge shows true colours

A Victorian judge has celebrated the Western Bulldogs' historic grand final win by wearing a club scarf to court.

The judge entered the Victorian County Court with the red, white and blue scarf draped over her judicial robes on Monday.

She said a precedent had been set for wearing club colours on the bench after a grand final win by judges who supported Collingwood.

She removed the scarf before the formal proceedings began and apologised to the two co-accused, assuring them she took their matter very seriously.

The man and woman indicated from the dock that they were happy for her to wear the Bulldogs scarf before their trial began.
