It’s one of the most watched defamation cases, with both Brittany Higgins and Bruce Lehrmann taking the stand in the Federal Court this week.

Mr Lehrmann is suing Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson for defamation over an interview where Ms Higgins alleged she had been raped by a Liberal staffer at Parliament House in 2019. 

He has denied the allegation and has never been found guilty of any wrongdoing. 

Today, reporter Partick Bell on the key evidence heard by the court.
