David Sharaz, the husband of Brittany Higgins, has been declared bankrupt in federal court in Perth, days after Higgins herself faced the same outcome. The bankruptcy proceedings were initiated by former Liberal senator Linda Reynolds, who successfully sued both Sharaz and Higgins for defamation related to social media posts. Sharaz was previously ordered in September to pay Reynolds $92,000. Reynolds launched the bankruptcy proceedings in October after winning the defamation case against the couple. This action follows Reynolds' successful defamation suit against both individuals.
