Lisa Wilkinson has enlisted the services of a top barrister who only hours earlier slammed the television star for her Logies acceptance speech and suggested there was a 'serious possibility' she could be charged with contempt.

President of the Australian Bar Association Dr Matthew Collins QC appeared on Sunrise on Wednesday where heMr Lehrmann has strongly denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty.

President of the Australian Bar Association Dr Matthew Collins QC was approached to represent Network 10 and Lisa Wilkinson hours after he sprayed the television host in an interview. Picture: David Geraghty / The Australian "It's certainly possible that the authorities will be looking at the speech that she made to the Logies and assessing that speech against the standard that applies in this branch of the law," he told the show's hosts.

Dr Collins suggested Ms Wilkinson could face a"serious possibility" of being charged over the acceptance speech that led to the delay of the Brittany Higgins trial. Picture: Instagram/@lisa_wilkinson

You know the well-known saying ' I am not just a pretty face '? Well that is something that Lady Wilkinson can not say about herself.

Hypocrisy thy name is Lisa Wilkinson.

She must be changed just like every other citizen who breaks the law

Lisa YOU are NOT above the law

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer

If the same action was made by a right leaning commentator or journalist, we all know they would have been charged by now.

😇👏🤣

The price you pay for relentless virtue-signalling... Hoping from the bottom of my heart this 'Chardonnay-swilling Socialist' learns a lesson here. Lesson 1: You're not a victim

Employed .. to look for defamation .. be careful ...

I don't understand why she would enlist his services when he bagged her for making the speech at the Logies about this issue.

And this is news why?

The absurdity of both media & the legal system on show. SkyNewsAust Lisa_Wilkinson theprojecttv Logies2022 auspol

Send in the big swinging dicks!

Well you never know, O.J got away with it

Go figure.

A slight conflict of interest don't you think?

If the dosh is right.

It is 2022 just more of TheNewNormal sh*t…🙃🤪

Lisa_Wilkinson is a fraud. She will say and do anything for ….money 💰money 💰 money 💰and of course notoriety. She will now be part of a negative self imposed place in history. It’s about time her MASK finally dropped 🪜 No empathy from me !!

Funny how money changes some people's perspective on serious issues.

Isn’t the media just as culpable by showing photos of the alleged offender and keeping this story going? If they truly felt Lisa was wrong they would stop reporting it and leave it to the courts. But never let ethics get in the way of trashing the opposition media.

Both Lisa & her husband swan around elites pretending to be of the working class! Lisa is paid a mighty $2m for her conceited & obnoxious commentary & lots was against the Morrison’s! Biased in every way & makes 4x as much as the PM? Now her legal bills are covered?

Has Grace Tame commented yet?

I believe Lisa interviewed Higgins only to get rewarded herself. She really doesn’t care about the victim. I have tried to get in touch with The project but no one cares. I won’t get them a Logie that’s y. Even the PM doesn’t get paid 2 million $ per year.

Smart move by Wilkinson. Muzzled the critic.

You live in TV land you hire a TV lawyer. Pity it’s not Judge Judy tho. Journalism became a sideshow now it’s beyond entertainment, soap, reality, drama, Gogglebox all in one. A force that warped our parliaments and now challenges our courts auspol Be gone celebrity journos

Why would he take her on as a client when he earlier slammed her for speaking out about the case, does he no longer have morals and is more interested in taking the money instead 🤔🤔

Its LISA SPARKLES ✨ from CH10

This is something Meghan Markle would do. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer..

I’m curious if Lisa Wilkinson has ever really consummated her marriage and if that’s why she is so miserable

not a smart journalist .. how did she win ?

Lisa_Wilkinson

The real issue with LisaWilkinson is, not that she married a woke cuck who think she's a pirate, her overly inflated ego simply won't allow her to keep quiet. Instead she doubles down... Is she insecure? I'd say so. Is she worth what Channel 10 paid for her? lol Absolutely not.

if they don’t pull their heads in and STFU until the trial is dealt with, the only beneficiary of Lisa or any MSM journo or outlet airing this case before a fair trial will be the Defendant. Like literally, the case may never be defended in Court. Or is that the ulterior goal?

It wasn’t meant to be like this.

Lisa I wonder if it was your son being accused of rape would you be so careless with your comments. In our democracy everyone deserves a fair trial and a presumption of innocent until proven guilty. You are not judge and Jury

What a piece of work Lisa is.

Turd.

Of course she has

C O N T E M P T OF C O U R T ON Ch 10

Yes, we all know why Sky news is hounding Lisa Wilkinson.

Effectively silencing channel seven's legal rep from performing further such interviews Channel7 Channel10AU

Not a surprise, smart on Lisa's part

saint_germain5 She should be charged she sees herself above the law .

Is Bruce Lehrmann Jooish?

As soon as you squeal 'top barrister' I start giggling bullshirt

What’s the hourly rate? Somewhere around the average person’s monthly mortgage payment, I’m guessing. NOT JUDGING! Just guessing, is all.

So Murdoch “news” service is calling for Murdoch critic to be sacked.

I look forward the court charging her for contempt and treat her the same way all Australians would be. Justice should be blind to people's profile and status!

A clever way to shut him up. By engaging this lawyer, she's muzzled him. He can't continue to argue for charging her with contempt as he cannot act against his client's interests.

The greatest mystery in this is how a light weight F grade reporter like Wilkinson can actually get an invite to the Logies and then in a seemingly impossible scenario win. Her narcissism then took over as she set sail torpedoing an already rocky legal case.

As she should be. Lisa always thinks she knows best in a very arrogant way.

Her and Karl two peas in a pod always

Good

Drunken floosey. He said/she said. No rape kit, no dna evidence. Delayed complaint. No video of rape. Plenty of reasonable doubt. lisawilkinson will be broadcasting from Silverwater jail... auspol

Charge her. Just another instance of trial by media. If he’s found guilty, he should face the full legal consequences. But until then, shut up and let legal process do it’s thing. So many media people these days assume they can tell us what to think…

She should know better.

Plenty of barristers a bush lawyers who would say the same thing

I’m curious, why hasn’t Lisa hired a female lawyer?

Follow the money

sophieelsworth Who is paying the costs thrown away caused by the adjournment

People power sorted Will Smith out. Watch out Lisa Wilkinson.

I didn't watch the logies, what did I miss?

It’s amazing what money can buy. Hopefully justice will prevail.

She probably expects the guy to be found 'not guilty' as the couch was steam-cleaned, there's no witnesses, etc. So LW wants the guy to be branded for life. LW is clever

Throw the book at her! Enough of these self entitled 'journos' thinking the world revolves around them! A nice big fine and rip her contract apart is what she deserves!

Manipulative, aggressive cow!

Typical response - lawyer up! How about an apology? The way this circus is going it will be delayed again or end up with a permanent stay of proceedings! Broadcasting at the national press club didn’t help either!

I am just waiting for the excuses to flow. Or the whinging about how the real issue is being overlooked. It's never their fault.

Lisa

Money money money

Jail is where she belongs. Courts must make an example.

Will she also take refuge in the Chilean Embassy for 5 years?

“Out of the 356 genders, men are the worst” - L Wilkinson mantotherescue

Why not this Wilkinson SHUT UP ... and let the justice system works...STOP PREEMPTING the judgment ..unfair for both parties and STOP using her media advantage from capitalising on it

Likely to have the AH personality disorder - feel sorry for her

Hinch spent time in jail even with an excellent cause. Month in the lockup will be character building for Wilkinson.

Lock it up for 10 years! Revolting pile of curdled vomit.

Lol

What's a low act! Using sexual abuse to push political agendas and get rich.

wilkinson the Ch 10 talking head knows exactly what she was doing and how it would an impact on the trial IMHO. Her belief is that the trial should not proceed for reasons known to her IMHO!!

Dear Brittany. This is what happens when you sleep with dogs .

I’d say 10 is paying..

Hold her in contempt! Charge her as she definitely knew what she was doing - she was warned

This woman has such a large ego and wants to be the news.

im pleased she told her husband to stop wearing that silly red bandana

Noteworthy....she picked a man.

Another smart arse move by Wilkinson. This woman is seriously devoid in common sense and should retire from media.

Gaol her.

Its becoming clearer that B.Higgins has no case and its increasingly likely this is planned. I'm now leaning towards B.Higgins lying about the charge and damage control being done via trial by media

Defending the indefensible. The difference between her comments and Higgins’ alleged rape, is we have evidence of what Wilkinson said. The irony in this is poetic.

Lol. It wasn’t meant to be like this lisawilkinson

Good choice 👍

Lisa Wilkinson slammed after Logies act delays Brittany Higgins’ rape trialThe trial of a man accused of sexually assaulting Brittany Higgins inside Parliament House has been delayed following a Logie Awards speech by Lisa Wilkinson. 7NEWS That's Old news anything new... Because of the beat up in the media about the speech, I actually went and looked at it… I’m sure many others did as well… if the media hadn’t made such a hullabaloo over it, I doubt we would have such potentially tainted jurors.. What would you expect from her? The guy hasn't been convicted yet, but on 'hearsay' from a drunken party-girl, he's guilty! Pathetic attempt to sway people's opinions, or just plain stupid?🤔

Trial delayed after Wilkinson’s Logies speech about HigginsThe trial of the man accused of raping former political staffer Brittany Higgins has been delayed after a judge said coverage of a speech by reporter Lisa Wilkinson at the weekend’s Logie Awards put the hearing’s fairness at risk. This was intentional, they have no desire to go to trial where inconsistencies will be exposed. She would never have jeopardized the trial if they were serious of conviction. It was all a strategy to embarrass the previous gov, now they want it to go away quietly. Trial by the court of Lisa Wilkinson. Guilty until proven innocent. No doubt if Ms. Wilkinson had of named a pedophile she would be in gaol with the Aussie Cossack.
