Linda Reynolds made a shock appearance just before 11am, sitting in the front row of the public gallery before her lawyer lambasted Brittany Higgins for “trivialising” his client’s suffering and revealed a high-profile anchor finessed one of her public addresses.
Liberal senator Linda Reynolds’ lawyer has accused Brittany Higgins of concocting a plan to weaponise her alleged rape in an “unprovoked attack underpinned by visceral hatred”, while revealing Sky News anchor Peta Credlin finessed one of her powerful public addresses.
in 2021 in which Sharaz told journalist Lisa Wilkinson the former staffer’s motivation was for Reynolds to lose her job.Heard in its entirety, Young, said the audio showed Higgins’ real desire was for cultural change and that had been evidenced by her continued advocacy for reform and to support victims of sexual assault.
Young concluded her final address by telling the court it wasn’t until the former staffer’s tell-all interview, two years after her alleged rape, that she found the agency she had fought for.In the spirit of honouring that, the barrister recited portions of an address the former staffer delivered to the press shortly after breaking her silence in February 2021 which she said best articulated her true motive.
“That’s why she spoke out up, that’s what she is being sued about, and that’s why we say this action should be wholly dismissed.” The court was shown correspondence in which Sharaz sent Credlin the statement he had drafted and invited the anchor to edit it as she saw fit. He told the court the written evidence Higgins provided was “flaky” and fell “woefully short” of defending what he dubbed an “unprovoked attack underpinned by visceral hatred” laid bare in her pre-interview briefing.
