Bruce Lehrmann is back in the news, and you’d be forgiven if you haven’t kept up with what legal process it relates to this time… The latest investigation stems from the ACT’s Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold’s claims that police applied “inappropriate interference” in the case over an alleged attack on former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins. The criminal trial was ultimately skuttled after juror misconduct and Higgins’ mental health concerns over facing new proceedings. Now, the ACT Government is trying to figure out if the police and the prosecutor did their jobs correctly. Drumgold alleges that police pressured him not to prosecute Lehrmann, and so far the inquiry has heard that the police-prosecutor relationship was always “beset by tension”. Yesterday was day one of the inquiry and it has some way to go before a report is to be finalised in June.
