Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins in Parliament House, judge finds on balance of probabilities
Justice Michael Lee finds former Liberal staffer was not defamed by Lisa Wilkinson and Ten in interview with Brittany Higgins in February 2021
You're viewing a single thread.
Streisand effect turned up to 11 ... Lehrmann's wikipedia page now opens with:
Bruce Lehrmann is a former political staffer who raped a colleague at Parliament House, Canberra.
emphasis mine
Someone in the Brissy Discord mentioned they were surprised the page hadn't been locked. So I did some digging.
Turns out, the page has basically only existed since today. Up until then, it would just redirect you to the "2019 rape allegation by Brittany Higgins" section of the page "2021 Australian Parliament House sexual misconduct allegations". Today, the page was created for real, and has been edited by 9 users making a total of 20 edits. That opening has been altered to be a little more legally safe.
The sidebar still says "Known for: Rape at Parliament House" though.
And it seems they've clarified it even more now:
Bruce Emery Lehrmann is a former political staffer who was found in a civil court trial at the Federal Court of Australia, on the balance of probabilities, to have raped a colleague at Parliament House, Canberra.
Still a banger of an opening line on one's wikipedia page!
Without going back in the history again and checking, I think that's the exact wording I saw when I said they changed it "to be more legally safe".
