The Project’s star journalist Lisa Wilkinson has conceded that when she praised the “unwavering courage” of Brittany Higgins in her 2022 Logies speech, eight days before Bruce Lehrmann was tried for s-xual ass-ult, she was supporting “a true allegation of r-pe against a guilty man”, but was not prioritising “pride and ego” over “the right to a fair trial”.
In a gruelling cross-examination, Ms Wilkinson also said she believed Ms Higgins’ boss, then-Minister Linda Reynolds, and her chief-of-staff Fiona Brown, were “knowing participants in a systemic cover up” of the alleged r-pe in Parliament House.
Mr Lehrmann is suing Network Ten and presenter Ms Wilkinson over her interview with Ms Higgins on The Project in 2021, detailing accusations that Mr Lehrmann r-ped Ms Higgins on March 23, 2019, but not naming him as the alleged attacker. He has consistently denied r-ping Ms Higgins.
