  1. Brittany Higgins has dropped her appeal against Linda Reynolds’ defamation victory, effectively greenlighting bankruptcy proceedings that could see Higgins & Sharaz pursued for over $1M in legal costs. The WA Supreme Court found no evidence Reynolds covered up Higgins’ 2019 rape—despite a separate civil finding that Lehrmann assaulted her on the balance of probabilities.
    This outcome punishes a survivor for speaking out, while rewarding a powerful ex-minister who weaponised defamation law to silence criticism. Reynolds now demands a parliamentary inquiry into Labor “weaponising” the case—classic deflection from systemic failures in handling sexual assault in Parliament House.
    Solidarity with survivors shouldn’t come with a million-dollar gag order.
