Show Notes
Bruce Lehrmanns final appeal against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson in the Brittany Higgins defamation case was denied by Australias High Court, effectively ending his legal battle. The High Court refused special leave and ordered Lehrmann to pay costs, upholding the trial judges ruling that Lehrmann raped Higgins in Parliament House in 2019. Lehrmann has consistently denied the allegations, but the court found against him after a contentious trial. The case sparked public debate, with some supporting Lehrmanns claim of a witch hunt and others backing Higgins account of trauma in the political sphere. With the High Courts decision, Lehrmanns innocence claim remains unsubstantiated by the court.
