The Chief Victims Advisor says scrapping juries from sexual violence trials could result in more fact-based verdicts.

Ruth Money believes it would be better for survivors - in part because judges must give reasoning for their verdict.

The idea's received some pushback, with one legal expert arguing jury trials are a foundation of the justice system.

Money says jurors enter a court with bias, and mightn't understand nuances of sexual assault.

"I've had survivors say to me - look, I was slammed around that courtroom like a tennis ball, I was rape-mythed, I was shamed, I was blamed."
