A confidant of Brittany Higgins has told a court he approached the prime minister’s office within two weeks of Higgins’ alleged rape after becoming concerned about her mental state, saying “it was like a light had turned off in her”.
The ACT supreme court has also heard that federal agents were initially refused access to CCTV vision in Parliament House from the night Bruce Lehrmann is alleged to have raped Higgins, a decision they say was passed down through the “chain of command”.
