The Bruce Lehrmann defamation trial continues and this week has featured the most explosive evidence from the woman who conducted the interview with Brittany Higgins.  

Journalist, editor, presenter and author Lisa Wilkinson.  

She, along with her employer Network Ten, are being sued by Mr Lehrmann, who alleges they defamed him with that piece on The Project in February 2021. 

She, and they deny they did, on two grounds. Qualified privilege – that is they did all could to ensure what they aired was accurate. 

And truth – that Mr Lehrmann did rape Ms Higgins in the office of Senator Linda Reynolds after a drunken night out in March 2019. 

Media intersecting with the law and politics, colliding with a media superstar – with layers of #MeToo on top. 

Jenna Clarke, associate editor of The Australian – who now writes about media daily but has spent many days in the Canberra bubble- joins host Tim Clarke to pick through the week’s revelations of Bruce Emery Lehrmann vs Network Ten Pty Ltd and Lisa Wilkinson.
