Lehrmann’s trial continues…

Squiz Quiz - 19 February 2021

…but it’s likely to wrap up this week after 2 former Morrison Government ministers – Western Oz senators Linda Reynolds and Michaelia Cash – give evidence about their interactions with former staffer Brittany Higgins. She finished her evidence on Friday in an “emotional” session as she told her former colleague/accused attacker Bruce Lehrmann that “nothing was fine after what you did to me”. He’s also given his account of the night – he says he went back to Parliament House to attend to some Question Time briefs, and after entering the office, he didn’t see Higgins again. The alleged rape “simply didn’t happen,” he testified. Other witnesses also gave their evidence last week, but it was confirmed that journos, including Lisa Wilkinson, have been dropped from the witness list. This week, Higgins’ partner David Sharaz will be called, and the prosecution is set to deliver closing remarks on Tuesday, with the defence to follow later in the week.
