A federal court judge is set to deliver his long-awaited decision in the defamation case between former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann and Network Ten, alongside journalist Lisa Wilkinson, related to an interview with Brittany Higgins regarding her rape allegation. Justice Michael Lee is expected to hand down his judgment, marking the culmination of a bruising legal battle. The decision, anticipated to be delivered at 10:15am AEST, has garnered significant attention, with live coverage planned across various news platforms. However, the verdict announcement has experienced some technical difficulties. The outcome of this trial is highly anticipated, as it will determine whether Lehrmann was defamed in the interview conducted by Wilkinson and aired by Network Ten.
