Linda Reynolds is suing the commonwealth over Brittany Higgins’ $2.4m settlement, alleging in court documents that former attorney general Mark Dreyfus committed “misfeasance of public office” by denying her an opportunity to defend herself against allegations she mishandled the incident.
It comes as the federal anti-corruption watchdog released its findings on Thursday, concluding there was “no corruption issue” in Higgins’ settlement and “no inappropriate intervention” by the Labor government.
