  1. By rejecting his bid for appeal the High Court has made Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case a complete failure
    abc.net.au/news/2026-04-11/hig

    Bruce Lehrmann is a rapist and, again, a loser. He's lost another attempt in court to clear his name. It appears this was his final chance with the legal system — he's exhausted all possibilities. Along the way, he's very publicly made himself look like a self-entitled, privileged, nepotistic, drug-abusing, right-wing nut-job, misogynistic rapist.

    I don't have much to add, other than sympathy for Brittany Higgins because of the ordeal she's been put through due to Bruce Lehrmann and his rape-excusing supporters in the Liberal Party like the vindictive former senator Linda Reynolds.

  2. late edit to remove an auto correct misuse of apostrophe grrr🤬

    Parliamentary Enquiries are for the most part an enormously expensive diversion tactic, designed to shut people up while elected governments just go ahead and phuk things up the way they originally intended.

    Reynolds was heard on national tv calling higgins a “lying cow”. whatever she truly meant by that comment is irrelevant — she publicly shit on someone to whom she had a duty of care. and now reynolds is aggrieved because she feels she, herself, has been publicly dumped on, and not content with a simple pound of flesh, she is going in for the proverbial kill. there seems, as a bare minimum, to be a double standard behind her quest to bankrupt higgins (at the very least, it highlights the way justice really works in a crapitalist democracy)

    Linda Reynolds’ obsession with “clearing her good name” is a lost cause, and the best she can hope for is to just pfaff right off and fade from our memories altogether.

    it’s the only way we are likely to stop thinking badly of her.

    from the Saturday Paper:

    “Linda Reynolds is demanding a parliamentary inquiry into the events that followed Brittany Higgins’s rape in her office. The following is a precis of the former minister’s actions over that time. By Chris Wallace.”

    Anyone got Brittany Higgins' "tweet published on July 20, 2022 — ... on the basis of an honestly held opinion, fair comment and qualified privilege."?

    Two ABC [edited: journalists] are responsible for
    "Ms Higgins did not testify at the trial on medical grounds, forcing Mr Bennett to piece together her media interviews and testimony from other court cases, including Mr Lehrmann's ultimately aborted rape trial."

    Mr Bennett chose to do this. No "forcing".

  5. Former WA senator Linda Reynolds wins defamation battle against Brittany Higgins
    abc.net.au/news/2025-08-27/lin

    FFS! Or, to put it more politely, this appears to be a miscarriage of justice.

    IANAL, but IMHO, Linda Reynolds has weaponised our legal system and vindictively misused our (broken) Defamation laws against Brittany Higgins.

    I believe Brittany Higgins when she said Linda Reynolds mishandled her rape allegation, and that the former Senator and Defence Minister harassed her and tried to silence her for speaking-up as a sexual assault victim.

    I also believe Linda Reynolds has such a toxic personality and dire public reputation that it's hardly possible for anything Brittany Higgins has said to harm the reputation of Linda Reynolds. Linda Reynolds claiming she's the victim looks awfully like DARVO. It's clear that by siding with a rapist and attacking the victim, Linda Reynolds is a Crumb Maiden of the Patriarchy.

    For a recap of things Linda Reynolds has done to ruin her own reputation independently of what Brittany Higgins said on social media, here are some facts established in court about her:
    - Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins in the office of Linda Reynolds. Yet, Linda Reynolds showed little care or responsibility as an employer toward her own staffers.
    - Linda Reynolds was asked by Brittany Higgins for help and advice after being raped, but in response Linda Reynolds was unsympathetic and called Brittany Higgins a "lying cow".
    - Linda Reynolds leaked documents to the media about Brittany Higgins that were marked "Confidential" and "Legal professional privilege."
    - Lina Reynolds destroyed evidence, such as deleting text messages with Bruce Lehrmann’s former barrister, and removing the couch upon which Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins from the crime scene before it could have a forensic investigation.

  6. It says our federal government joke for an #icac was never going to stop ministers getting away with terrible things. We wanted an #icac because our federal government was letting ministers get away with terrible things. #LindaReynolds is a #trump in drag.

  7. @cathfyffe
    If I recall correctly, Reynolds revealed that she had leaked to the media, confidential information obtained as part of the legal discovery process. Her justification was that she felt offended by something done by or on behalf of Higgins.

    Apparently, what Reynolds did is not illegal. It should be. At the very least, it reflects Reynolds' character.

  8. I've heard reports along those lines @gnoll110
    It's probably time for a review of Australia's defamation laws - and legislation against abuse of legal processes.

  9. The verdict will be interesting @MaxG
    I wonder whether Reynolds' reputation will end up looking any better than Lehrmann's.

  10. “Ms Higgins arrogantly — from the sanctity of France — claims the status of the person most seriously affected by this matter and trivialises the hurt to others,” Mr Bennett said.

    So the victim of a crime is arrogant for claiming to be "the person most seriously affected" by the crime? 🤔 I guess it makes sense to a legal mind.

  11. The way this absolute waste of meat is bullying Higgins is unbelievable.

    If courts really wanted to protect victims, they'd stop this bullshit.
    _____
    Senator Linda Reynolds has launched another lawsuit against Brittany Higgins and the company overseeing the trust fund protecting the former political staffer’s multimillion-dollar payout.

    Higgins received a $2.4m commonwealth compensation payment in December 2021 for hurt and distress, lost earnings, medical expenses and legal fees following her [...] rape in Parliament House.

  12. Brittany Higgins ‘forced to sell’ French home to defend defamation case brought by Linda Reynolds
    theguardian.com/law/article/20

    Linda Reynolds is the lowest of the low. Just when you thought she couldn't stoop any lower, now it appears she's abusing our Defamation laws to mount a vindictive case against Brittany Higgins.
