The former Liberal media adviser Nicky Hamer has told the federal court she was so angry about Bruce Lehrmann grabbing Brittany Higgins’ phone in an attempt to stop her leaving the pub one night she resigned from Senator Linda Reynolds’ office hours later.
Hamer said in early March 2019, three weeks before the night Higgins claims Lehrmann raped her, Lehrmann said he thought Higgins was “good-looking” and asked Hamer to invite her to the pub for a drink.
