Deep Dive: Higgins v Lehrmann: Part 1
Brittany Higgins and Bruce Lehrmann are names that continue to dominate headlines over four years after Brittany first went public with allegations she was sexually assaulted in Parliament House.

Since then, a legal, political and media domino effect ensued, including a criminal trial, corruption probes and multiple defamation cases that are still playing out today.

In this episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy and Chris Spyrou unpack the case at the heart of it all, the media frenzy and the Lehrman v Network Ten defamation suit.
