Good afternoon. Bruce Lerhmann’s defamation trial against Lisa Wilkinson and Network Ten continues today, with the Ten journalist facing questions relating to the investigation and reporting of Brittany Higgins’ claims.
During an exchange with Lehrmann’s barrister, Matthew Richardson SC, Wilkinson defended her standards. Responding to whether or not further investigating was warranted, Wilkinson replied: “I feel we investigated the story extremely well.” However, the journalist did concede that certain aspects of Higgins’ story regarding her mobile phone had raised “alarm bells”.
