union offices: David de Garis, a former media adviser to the senator, was ordered to name his source by Federal Court Justice Mordecai Bromberg on Tuesday, according to Nine News Australia. Mr de Garis resigned from the position after passing information to journalists who arrived at union offices in Melbourne and Sydney before Australian Federal Police in October 2017.

He admitted on Tuesday that he didn't understand the consequences of his actions at the time, but had wanted to get media coverage of the raid. His naming of Ben Davies - due to give evidence later this week - came as it was revealed the former staffer was taking his own legal action against the union in a defamation suit. Mr de Garis claimed the raids were significant because the investigation of the union was one of the first for the new Registered Organisations Commission, and had been viewed as significant for the senator and staff for the same reason.
