Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has suggested that Brittany Higgins and her partner David Sharaz should apologise to Liberal senator Linda Reynolds after declaring his Coalition colleague had been vindicated in the Bruce Lehrmann defamation decision.
“I would have thought, off the back of the judgment yesterday, people would be looking to settle the matter against Linda Reynolds and issuing a full apology to her for the way in which her reputation has been tarnished.”Credit:Reynolds launched two separate defamation claims against Higgins and Sharaz in the West Australian Supreme Court last year over statements the couple published on their separate social media accounts.
Higgins provided evidence to Lehrmann’s defamation proceedings last year that the reason she spoke to media was because she didn’t want to be “complicit” in a cover-up over the sexual assault, and said during Lehrmann’s abandoned 2022 criminal trial she felt pressured not to pursue the complaint.
