An ACT Board of Inquiry into the prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann over the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins has heard the key relationship between police and prosecutors was "beset by tension" from the outset.
The inquiry is the ACT equivalent of a Royal Commission, and is examining whether the criminal justice agencies involved in the matter — including police, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), and the Victims of Crime Commissioner — fulfilled their responsibilities.
