Bruce Lehrmann’s case: ‘Brittany’s small lies snowballed’ (Podcast)

Brittany Higgins spread a “virus of madness” that infected the ­nation’s political and media class when she publicly alleged she was r-ped by Bruce Lehrmann in Parliament House, his lawyers have claimed in their final submissions to the Federal Court. In the last day of hearings in Mr Lehrmann’s defamation case against Network Ten and its star interviewer Lisa Wilkinson, his barrister Steven Whybrow SC ­accused Ms Higgins of “laying a false trail” in the days following the alleged incident to make it appear that something had happened between her and Mr Lehrmann. Mr Whybrow launched into a scathing attack on Ms Higgins’ credit, listing everyone he said she had lied to, and claiming she was “not an accurate, nor a reliable ­historian”, and her partner David Sharaz, was accused of using The Project interview with Ms Higgins to carry out a “political hit job”.
