In May twenty 46 00:02:38,854 --> 00:02:42,134 Speaker 1: twenty three, Cossa's legal team filed for the suit, which 47 00:02:42,174 --> 00:02:46,014 Speaker 1: covers sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, the creation of a hostile 48 00:02:46,054 --> 00:02:49,854 Speaker 1: work environment, retaliation and breach of contract, to be thrown out. 49 00:02:50,094 --> 00:02:53,254 Speaker 1: The Daily Mail obtained paperwork which claims Labella was happy 50 00:02:53,254 --> 00:02:55,734 Speaker 1: on set and that the scene in question involved her 51 00:02:55,814 --> 00:02:58,974 Speaker 1: in full costume, wearing bike shorts and an ankle length dress. 52 00:02:59,574 --> 00:03:02,454 Speaker 1: The documents further suggest the scene involved the male actor 53 00:03:02,494 --> 00:03:04,814 Speaker 1: lifting the hem of her skirt before swinging a leg 54 00:03:04,854 --> 00:03:08,174 Speaker 1: over her, but it ended there.

While Costner's lawyer Marty Singer has 56 00:03:11,694 --> 00:03:14,894 Speaker 1: called the case a shakedown tactic. A Royal Commission into 57 00:03:14,894 --> 00:03:17,894 Speaker 1: Domestic Family and Sexual Violence has seen more than five 58 00:03:17,934 --> 00:03:21,774 Speaker 1: thousand people bravely speak up. The year long inquiry elevated 59 00:03:21,814 --> 00:03:24,934 Speaker 1: their voices and led to Commissioner Natasha Stott de Spoyer 60 00:03:25,214 --> 00:03:28,214 Speaker 1: finding that South Australia had failed to confront the scale 61 00:03:28,254 --> 00:03:31,614 Speaker 1: and seriousness of the crisis. Alongside the main report, the 62 00:03:31,614 --> 00:03:35,974 Speaker 1: Commission published the Voices, which include the experiences of victim survivors. 63 00:03:36,614 --> 00:03:41,054 Speaker 1: South Australia's Premier said the document includes harrowing stories. One 64 00:03:41,094 --> 00:03:43,414 Speaker 1: of the submissions came from a child who had run 65 00:03:43,454 --> 00:03:45,774 Speaker 1: away when their dad would assault their mum. When they 66 00:03:45,814 --> 00:03:48,774 Speaker 1: came home, they were subjected to their own beating. Another 67 00:03:48,894 --> 00:03:51,254 Speaker 1: is that of a mother who got constant messages from 68 00:03:51,294 --> 00:03:54,134 Speaker 1: an estranged partner saying the children would be told she'd 69 00:03:54,134 --> 00:03:57,374 Speaker 1: wrecked the family. Miss Stott Daspoyer said some of the 70 00:03:57,414 --> 00:04:00,254 Speaker 1: stories will haunt her team forever. The commission was set 71 00:04:00,334 --> 00:04:02,974 Speaker 1: up in twenty twenty four after four women were killed 72 00:04:03,014 --> 00:04:06,414 Speaker 1: in one week in South Australia alone. The report found 73 00:04:06,454 --> 00:04:09,174 Speaker 1: that a lack of leadership and a crisis driven, siloed 74 00:04:09,174 --> 00:04:13,174 Speaker 1: approach to violence had failed victim survivors. It said significant 75 00:04:13,214 --> 00:04:16,014 Speaker 1: investment is required to address the Commission's one hundred and 76 00:04:16,054 --> 00:04:20,654 Speaker 1: thirty six recommendations.
