Lehrmann Denied Access to Higgins Footage | Australia News

Bruce Lehrmann’s bid to seize raw documentary footage featuring Brittany Higgins was shut down by a Queensland judge, who ruled the material wouldn’t help his defense in his upcoming rape trial — despite his claims it could sway the jury. The film, which explores how women and journalists are silenced post-MeToo, already contained public information about Higgins’ experiences, and the judge emphasized she’s not a witness in this case. The subpoena was dismissed, and Lehrmann may now face legal costs from the filmmakers — a case that underscores the high-stakes legal and public battles swirling around these allegations.
