The ACT government has noted the Federal Court's finding that Bruce Lehrmann had, more likely than not, raped Brittany Higgins at Parliament House five years ago, but said any further criminal proceedings would be a matter for the territory's Director of Public Prosecutions.
"The government takes allegations of sexual offences seriously and acknowledges the impact that sexual violence has on individuals, families and the community," a spokesperson for the Justice and Community Safety Directorate said.
