Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds intends to claim that Brittany Higgins and her now fiance David Sharaz colluded with Lisa Wilkinson and a Network 10 producer to politically attack her, if her defamation cases against the couple go to trial.
The former defence minister, who plans to retire from politics at the next election, is suing both her former political staffer and Mr Sharaz over a series of social media posts that she says have damaged her reputation.
