What we heard today
Today Lisa Wilkinson finished giving evidence and new court documents revealed a five-hour conversation between Wilkinson, Brittany Higgins and others, which was part of the preparations for the Project interview.
Here’s what we heard this afternoon:
Wilkinson was asked by Bruce Lehrmann’s barrister to identify in Hansard where she thought Senator Linda Reynolds was “lying through her teeth”. After Wilkinson went on to talk about her belief that Reynolds misled parliament, Justice Lee intervened, asking her what information she had to make her think Reynolds was lying through her teeth. Wilkinson suggested it came from her interview or phone calls with Higgins.
Wilkinson was also questioned over whether Higgins’s fiance David Sharaz was a good friend. Lee asked whether she thought it was a good idea to use Sharaz as a conduit rather than deal with Higgins, to which Wilkinson responded that her preference was for Higgins to be the main contact.
