Bruce Lehrmann is suing Channel 10 and Lisa Wilkinson for defamation. They are using the "truth" defence, but so far their star witness Higgins is looking like a highly unreliable witness.

If they lose the case, can Higgins just walk away with her $3m in taxpayers' money?

Good Morning Shadow Minister,

It will be up to the courts to decide what her punishment
will be if she's found to have made false claims.

Her reputation now is not looking good. I suspect this case
may go on for some time yet. She'll probably claim mental
health issues again, as she did previously.

Who needs to be compensated is the accused. He's lost a great
deal. It would be justice if the $3 million that she got was
given to him for what she put him through.

Just a thought.

It will be up to the courts to decides
Foxy,
The courts have had how long now to put a stop to such nonsense ?

Indyvidual,

The courts have to go through all the legal processes
that are necessary. And often they take longer than we'd like.
But they have to go according to the laws in place.

They should be given at least the same punishment as would have been handed out to the defendant if he had proven guilty.

all the legal processes
Foxy,
Have you ever thought about why the Law Reform Commission has as yet never considered streamlining these processes ? $$$ to be creamed off that’s why.
Why hasn’t the High Court simply said to both Lehrmann & Higgins “you entered the Australian Parliament House drunk & therefore you are dismissed along with the security guard who let you in” ! Case closed.
