Higgins’ claims in $2.4m payout contradicted by her own evidence: lawyers

Brittany Higgins made 11 separate representations about her alleged rape in her $2.4m settlement with the commonwealth which were either false or contradicted by her own evidence in the defamation case brought by Bruce Lehrmann, his lawyers have claimed.
In newly released submissions by the parties to the case, Mr Lehrmann’s lawyers set out a detailed comparison of the claims Ms Higgins made in the Commonwealth deed, signed in December 2022, with her evidence in the still-to-be-decided defamation case.
The Albanese government paid Ms Higgins $2.445m in a settlement that relied entirely on her version of events, after a single-day mediation that excluded evidence from her former boss, then defence industry minister Linda Reynolds.
