Wilkinson will seek to prove Lehrmann raped Higgins in defence to lawsuit


Journalist Lisa Wilkinson will argue former Liberal Party staffer Bruce Lehrmann did rape his then-colleague Brittany Higgins in Parliament House, if his lawsuit against her and Channel Ten is allowed to proceed.

Lehrmann is suing for defamation over the interview Wilkinson conducted with Higgins on Ten show The Project on February 15, 2021, in which she alleged she had been raped after a night out with colleagues in 2019.

Although the former Liberal staffer wasn't named in the interview, he argued a series of details listed were enough to identify him to a range of people.

In a lawsuit filed in the Federal Court last month, he claims the article conveyed the meaning he "raped Brittany Higgins in Defence Minister Linda Reynolds' office in 2019" and three other defamatory imputations.

He also claimed the broadcast invited viewers to "speculate" about the identity of the person referred to, and that they had already read or went on to read online articles or social media posts naming Lehrmann.

Lehrmann alleges Ten and Wilkinson were "recklessly indifferent to the truth or falsity" of what they were broadcasting, without giving him a chance to respond.

In a defence published online by the Federal Court of Australia on Tuesday, Wilkinson admitted that if the broadcast identified Lehrmann, it carried the defamatory imputation that he raped Higgins.

Throughout this unsavoury mess, I've remained detached, apart from referring to Higgens as 'pudding face'

So correct me if I'm wrong, but did pudding-face actually claim not to remember the alleged rape or the identity of the person (if one in fact exists) accused?

Is it allowable, under law, to drag the above nonsense into court at cost to the taxpayer?

If a person is so self-admittedly drunk that they could be raped without their awareness and with no knowledge that it even occurred, why did police even entertain the allegations?  Why is anyone entertaining this sordid saga?   It happens for real every night and day.  Up to everyone to take responsibility for themselves and their actions, and that should have been the final word from police and media

Instead, pudding face and the unpopular media figure who shoe-horned her way into the fiasco appear determined to drain it to the dregs

Times have changed.  People are far less concerned about being regarded as sluts now than they are about being considered raycist

Aussie can never expand on anything.
He can't even expand a PA Forum.

Well you expect that of everyone else Bill 'Aussie' Hunter.

Well ok, although in fairness I didn't ask you to jump to attention or to respond

it's been going on for a while and has been hard to avoid with the media using it to plug the hole left by the departure of the hoax covid

so -- glancing through the fake 'news' in my feed, I read -- and only from the supposed 'better' news reports, that pudding face wasn't sure she'd been raped, or who allegedly raped her.  According to the news reports she didn't report it immediately or summon police who would surely have used a rape-kit to determine (1) if she'd been raped and (2) the identity of the alleged rapist

Those who briefly read the news reports might well have noted the same thing

Not to be sarcastic -- it didn't occur to me to read the ozpol analyses

There were other sex scandals in the news around the same time --  must have been the post hoax covid season for it

I don't really care, Aussie.  I may as well set the world on fire by stating that I don't see the big deal re: casual rape of overpaid, generally pointless Canberra hangers on.  I mean, an individual allows themselves to be reduced to a lump of flesh by alcohol, then they flop around the workplace after hours unable to defend themselves whilst simultaneously rendering themselves sexually available to anyone passing by, and later on they see an opportunity to gain notoriety and cash -- and expect me or anyone else to sympathise? 

A grown woman can easily accommodate the average penis without injury, fact.  And if the woman wasn't aware she was raped or even who the rapist might be, it would be in her own best interests to clean up and shut up before her employer showed her the door

Not sure I'd want to employ any women after the last few years.  Maybe it's best it they returned to the kitchen

Woman are becoming as much of a problem as the Abos

They want menstruation leave
Menapause leave
Parenting leave
Paid child care
Neurotic leave

and at the end of the day, after contributing not much in the workplace, they believe they're entitled to get drunk at office parties and afterwards flood the nation with claims they think they might have been raped/and or had office sex while drunk and want someone (not themselves of course) to 'pay'

Then they coerce useless governments into giving them half the available jobs

Ever look at the comments in news reports?  Almost all give the big thumbs down to women in the workplace, women in politics, trans women everywhere, etc

And most of the comments are from --- women.  Conclusion:  women are tired of moaning, demanding women

The implication is that you think Brittany was raped. The reality is that it is likely she was not raped.
