ACT top prosecutor Shane Drumgold takes the stand on first day of Board of Inquiry into handling of Bruce Lehrmann's trial
The ACT Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold has told an inquiry into the handling of Bruce Lehrmann's trial for rape that a police report questioning the credibility of Brittany Higgins contained "irrelevant material".
The inquiry is examining how the case was handled by those involved, including police and prosecutors.
Mr Lehrmann — who was accused of raping Brittany Higgins in a parliamentary office in 2019 — has maintained his innocence and there have been no findings against him.
His trial last year and subsequent plans for a retrial were both abandoned.
