Bruce Lehrmann makes last-ditch legal effort to appeal defamation loss

Bruce Lehrmann, a former Liberal staffer, is making a final legal attempt to appeal the defamation loss related to allegations that he raped Brittany Higgins in Parliament House in 2019. This appeal is based on Lehrmann's claim that the initial findings against him were "compromised." The alleged rape has led to numerous legal cases. Lehrmann is seeking to clear his name from the findings that he, on the balance of probabilities, raped Higgins. The location of the alleged incident was Parliament House.
