'Pregnant women's IQs halve'
According to court documents, a month after she told Mr Heath she was pregnant he told her: "in his experience a woman's IQ halves when she falls pregnant."
Mr Heath was also accused of asking Ms Thorton to turn around in March 2009, while she was pregnant, and then allegedly saying: "yup, you are having a boy because your bum has blown out."
Ms Thorton claims she exercised workplace rights, including time off to have children and working part time, and was penalised as a result.
In late 2010, after her first child was born, she says she was told she had not met expectations and was therefore, given a far smaller bonus of $20,000 compared with up to $150,000 in past years, which was then reduced by 20 per cent because she was part time.
