Brittany Higgins was “really personally hurt” by the way Senator Linda Reynolds and the Liberal party “abandoned” her after she disclosed she had been sexually assaulted in the minister’s office, the federal court has heard.
Bruce Lehrmann has brought a defamation case against Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson over an interview with Higgins on Ten’s The Project in which she alleged she was raped by a Liberal staffer in Parliament House. Network Ten and Wilkinson are defending the case.
