Television personality Lisa Wilkinson says she was not warned not to give a Logies speech referencing Brittany Higgins during a meeting with the ACT director of public prosecutions, contradicting other evidence given to an inquiry.

In a statement provided to an independent inquiry into the prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann, Wilkinson denies she was told that any publicity of the case could be problematic.
