The ACT Director of Public Prosecutions, Shane Drumgold, has resigned following the Sofronoff Inquiry’s report that was handed to the territory’s government last week. Leaked to the media, it accused Drumgold of “serious misconduct” like misleading the court and failing to disclose evidence to the defence team during his prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann (the man accused of assaulting former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins in 2019). Yesterday afternoon, ACT Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury said Drumgold’s position was “no longer tenable”. In his own public statement, Drumgold said that “while I acknowledge I made mistakes, I strongly dispute that I engaged in deliberate or underhanded conduct in the trial or that I was dishonest”… and he said all his decisions were made in good faith. Meanwhile, the ACT Government is expected to give a detailed response to the Sofronoff Report this week.
