Former prime minister Scott Morrison may be among those called to testify as a witness at the defamation trial Senator Linda Reynolds has brought against her ex-staffer Brittany Higgins , a Perth court has heard.
The posts were about Senator Reynolds' conduct after Ms Higgins was allegedly raped in Parliament House in 2019 by her former colleague Bruce Lehrmann.A civil case in the Federal Court found, on the balance of probabilities, that the sexual assault did occur, but Mr Lehrmann has always denied the allegations and there are no criminal findings against him.
Mr Bennett said Mr Morrison would be overseas at the time of the trial, and would give evidence via video link if required."I've been particularly grateful in recent times for the support from Scott Morrison and from many other witnesses in this trial in terms of the impact this has had on me and many other people as well," she said.
