Good afternoon. Bruce Lehrmann was back in the witness box today, where he faced cross-examination in his defamation trial against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson.
Under questioning from Ten’s silk, Matt Collins KC, Lehrmann admitted to lying during an interview with Channel 7’s Spotlight program about his reason for lying to his chief of staff, Fiona Brown, about why he entered Parliament House after hours on the evening Brittany Higgins alleged he raped her. Lehrmann also admitted to lying to Liberal senator Linda Reynolds in his “show cause” letter.
