Former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann has admitted to giving false answers to the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in 2021 about why he came back to Parliament House on the night that Brittany Higgins was allegedly raped.
Lehrmann admitted to giving a false answer during day two of the proceedings into his defamation case against Channel Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson.
Higgins claimed that Lehrmann had sexually assaulted her in the office of Senator Linda Reynolds on March 23, 2019.
