Mark O'Brien will work with the former Liberal staffer who is"strongly" considering action after the rape case and sexual assault charge was dropped last week due to fears of Ms Higgins' mental and physical health in a second trial.
The producers of The Project, Roving Enterprises, which is owned by comedian Rove McManus who produces the network's show, and even Twitter identities who commented during the trial may be named in the case as well. Media who published the full speech or parts of it that favoured Ms Higgins are also considered to be facing legal action.
The ABC is also likely to be sued for airing comments from Ms Higgins and Grace Tame during a National Press Club appearance back in February 2021. Picture: Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Images The lead prosecutor in the Bruce Lehrmann court case announced last week the retrial would not go ahead due to concerns over Brittany Higgins' health.
"Whilst the pursuit of justice is essential for both my office and for the community in general, the safety of a complainant in a sexual assault matter must be paramount."
Clearly cashing in on the non-verdict of an inept justice system. I hope they overhaul it to protect victims who are treated like criminals. They end up feeling very angry.
G.R.U.B
Excellent. Wilkinson 1st.
That’s gone well for others lately!🤪🤪🤪🤪
He’s broke is he not?
Get the on the stand and be x examined then
You're not in jail. Quit while you are ahead.
Murdoch loves rapists.
What a cockroach
Love to see the ex project host pay some coin for her self righteous behaviour
Good I hope he succeeds
With her SBS boyfriend leading her to the wolves it’s no wonder it’s ended up in a no show!
Isn’t it interesting how most of you can’t see the real problem with this case!! You seem to have the law in reverse. Without a shred of evidence he should be presumed innocent before proven guilty or does anyone crying victim have all the moral & legal rights now. What a joke!
Good.
He has been tried by the media and found guilty, why bother with another trial. Time for the torches and pitchforks believeallwomen
Karma coming his way soon.
He will win this one. Court cases should be private to prevent trial by media.
Its his legal right.
Good, trial by media in this country is out of control.
It’s about time!
Frankly who cares who is paying at the moment I think that it is the least of his worries
Hiding behind a defemation suit that will ultimately fail.
351capridan Lerhmann...... who would go there! The only way he could be with a woman is to Rape her! Ugly bloke 😵💫
Wonder if an anonymous donor, will leave a Million Dollars in a brown paper bag on Bruce's doorstep?
Sickening
Good on you mate
Good on him.
So many questions… Who’s paying said top defamation lawyer? How did a 23yr old with no real world experience get a $200k SENIOR advisor role with no qualifications? Why was the lounge cleaned? Why did he take Brittany to PH and then just leave her there?
Just a liberal
He’s a hero to many wether u like it or not , on the street many want the hero to sue the pants of well known lefties especially the north shore champagne socialists, the rule of law was allowed to be abused,
You have my full support. It is time to stop this injustice once and for all. Trail by media have done enormous damage to our legal system and simply must be stopped.
Surely he has no case. He has not been cleared because the case ended. Nothing has been proved either way
A lawyers picnic is about to unfold
Good luck to him hope he wins the same for Miss Higgins both of them deserved their day in court without the trial by media & public opinion this will hang over them both for ever now
He won’t be able to stay silent this time should he go down this path. Brittany Higgins has stated she will be a witness in any actions of this nature. The judge has lifted the gag order on previous complaints about him and his previous actions.
Lets hope all the women he has assaulted have something to say as well!
Can’t wait to see this. Truth is a complete defence.
Well if anyone was in the same identical position they’d probably do the same
He should sue to proof his innocence. The biggest jury is public opinion. Media companies has all the power to create a villain even though they aren’t proven in court
He would have an equally strong case against Caro & Plibersek.
I thought the 'Lerhmann trial' could continue when the courageous Ms Higgins is strong enough?
Do it! Ask about professional ethics of the MSM....
Go for it!
If Brittany Higgins can get a payout so should he. I hope he does go after all the media who judged him without knowing all the facts. Typical journalists who always follow the narrative. Wake up.
Careful, the truth may just come out in a civil case - shame that juror’s behaviour resulted in a mistrial - I’d like to know how that all came about, and who was behind that behaviour
careful what he wishes for
I don’t want to see his disgusting face!
Don't just consider it DO IT. Protect for the rest of us, the principles of Due Process and Procedural Fairness.
Hoping to put off any other women coming forward is my guess
Just because that case was dismissed doesn't mean another won't be mounted, so that man L should not count his chickens yet.
Remember the days when Porter said that Australia’s Defamation laws needed reform, but then realised he could use them to his advantage, which didn’t turn out to be an advantage at all?
Watch closely to observe the tactics of his lawyer - will we see psychological abuse + libel/slander/defamation of witnesses?
I thought he was on the dole? How does he afford a top class litigator?
Boohoo.. nobody believes you or sky news
All you people commenting here. This is why the case was shut down you are all as bad as the media. Your views on justice is all screwed up.
He won't
Let him go for it and hopefully he will get found out!
Good start suing these clowns
LathamNorm Creep, send him back to the USA! (I suppose he is holding Australian Citizenship)
He looks so creepy 🤢
this wont end well for brucey
I thought he was broke 🤷🏻♀️?
Paid for? How?
If I was this guy, I would absolutely seek damages!
Good on you Bruce. You have my support. Hope you shame that Wilkinson woman 👍
Septic tank
Now we know why that silly cow Wilkinson quit her very high paying pretend job at The Wankfest!
A defamation lawyer that does work for NewsCorpse as well?
The truth is out there!
The discovery process might be interesting.
he should be rewarded for poor behaviour
He has every write to clear his name, as his career has been blighted by accusations and scrutiny without conclusion.
That person is insidious
Excellent... Skin those buggers.
Good.
What happened He assisted a very drunk girl, late at night back into the offices. She wakes up in the morning, mostly naked. What happened?
In contrast to civil law in general, the burden of proof falls to the defendant to prove that they did not defame the plaintiff by one of the following: Truth or Justification Honest Opinion or Fair Comment Absolute Privilege Qualified Privilege Triviality
Is a mystery donor giving him $1 million to pay his legal fees. We never found out WhoPaidPorter. Is it the same person. Both alleged rapists. NACC
Ah! A good little Liberal.
Do it mate .. Far too many woman cry wolf to get on the gravy train or look for fame and attention .. every dog and it bone do not do any due diligence they immediately condemn NO not even they charge the accused Guilty with no proof but hearsay or rather she said .. go for it
As long as tax payers are not footing the bill
Good. This should be interesting.
He didn't even have the guts to take the stand, hid behind lawyers
Could cement an innocent outcome which he was robbed of ...or backfire and she could be vindicated. Win win.
Why intoxicated persons are allowed entry to parliament house after hours makes no sense. In most other workplaces this would be unheard of.
Don't forget Albanese and plibersek.
I'm sure the People's Court of Twitter can adjudicate...
I hope he also gets a compensation pay out at least 10 Times what Higgins gets. Then Higgins should get $0 so let me change that, he should get the $3 million she wants
All Lisa Wilkinson has to say is 'My lawyers are looking forward to cross examining Mr Lehrmann under oath'.
An eye for an eye
Let him try.
What a pathetic low life loser.
No, he isn’t. He’ll say he is. And LNP propaganda like you will say he is. But he isn’t. He does not want that level of scrutiny. And we all know why.
What does 'strongly' considering mean? He will? He won't? He wants us to think he will? He's bluffing? I hope he goes ahead..we may then learn the real truth without bullying his victim any further
Oh the legal trial has become the media trial victim Higgins always wanted it to be.
Of course you’re going to promote this!
Who’s funding this?
Can't wait for Truth Defence
More people should sue the media it may encourage them to shut their mouths..
Let’s hope he gets Sue C as his lawyer that will work out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe he should sue himself for being a creep
I see a settlement or two in the future.
Good media just go way to far
This rape case has made him almost unemployable with his skills he would be lucky to get a job as a check out operator let alone as a defense advisor.
Another 'Blind Trust' job
Sue the lot of them. Good on him.
I hope he sues the Murdoch and Channel 9 papers.
Someone should tell him that he wasn’t found innocent in the trial…..one of his Liberal staffer mate fcuk the trial
. . Reading this thread, it is clear that the bulk of lemming Australia has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. It's quite embarrassing to see that my own country is this stupid. Brucey is going to win big. And so he should. These ppl prevented him having a fair trial & wrecked his life. . .
Good I hope you win against the scum and liers
so he should. I hope he bankrupts them.
Wonder if he realises he wont be able to sit quietly in a corner watching his brief dissect the life of his accuser. Like Christian Porter found civil trials mean all the evidence will again be presented. ?
davidbewart 🤮
Do 'go fund me' due your lawyer fees. Surely lot of us will donate for the good cause
Right move mate. Sue ABC, channel 10,9,7. Also sue Higgins.
He had better sue 🤦♂️ that whole thing stunk and his the one who deserves the 3mil compensation
Go get them
Good!
This is Australia’s version of the Covington kids and Kyle Rittenhouse. Media in this country are arrogant and for the large part untouchable when they report incorrectly.
He ain’t no Jonny Deep but if this highlights how wide spread misandry is in Oz its damn well overdue It’s downhill from here simps and Mrs gillard, wrong, ruston , last few assorted pms etc etc
Can he afford the cost of such eminent representation?
Get em' Brucey
Hope he does. Then he will have to testify
The former staffer with form might want to study the BRS case and how when it got unpacked , it would never fit back in the case. I’m betting his defo lawyers won’t say anything about that happening … until it does. They’ll be still on the clock.
I want the dirty filthy ABC to get sued to death
Is there any chance he could get the same Legal Advice as former DSS-DHS Dept Secretary Kathryn Campbell... It will make for great television!
Who should advise him of all the risks that could occur to further damage him and his familiy's reputation?
Bring that shit on....
Another blindtrust coming up. WhopaidPorter
Excellent
Got every right to.
Wow, someone with very deep pockets must be backing him. Any clues?
truck yeah...sue the red bandana off these fools ...Imagine being accused of this ..then multiplied by media ...I would be all chips in ...he deserves it
Good for him! He bloody well should sue the lot of them!!
Is Kerry Stokes funding it?
Good on ya Bruce! Take em all to the cleaners, including higgins herself.
I wonder how much Lisa can sell her Logie for? 😆
This will not end well for him. Please do it.
Will Bruce take the stand? Not necessarily Why? Wilkinson and media have said things about Bruce that he presents to the court are defamatory The court decides if what is said is defamatory If so the defence gets the opportunity to argue what they said was true. If not, pay up
Who pays the lawyers?
Defamation- truth Defence 🤔 will be really want to have the court hear the truth ? How did BRS go? Have we heard yet?
bring it on you little COWARD with MurdochGutterMedia cheering him on
How’s the deep dive going into a family link to Morrison going?
What a snow flake. ❄️
That won't happen
Does he really want that level of scrutiny such as how he got the job in the first place as well as all his phone records and whereabouts under examination? Not to mention taking the stand. Hopefully another BRS situation
Maybe Wilkinson can take her Logie with her when she does porridge.
This isn’t going to end well for him. Glorious to see
Good, he should and all on social media who have accused him of rape
Looking forward to testing his credibility
It should of course include the minister Honorable? Tanya Plibersek who is required to know better, that the Labor leadership has yet to bring to account.
So looking forward to this - 🍿 everywhere
So he should and so should Higgins the trauma Wilkinson and other media scum caused to the case is abysmal
Extreme bias against Lehrmann on the word of a mentally fragile individual. The evidence lacks substance.Simply pointing the finger does not justify the presumption of guilt. 🇦🇺
Any hope of roping the pirate in with her? Just a thought.
Oh really? Is Lehrmann stumping up his own money for this or will the IPA(Gyna/Rupert) or similar be gofunding him as their contribution to the ideological battle against women? Asking for a friend…
I hope he takes Lisa to the cleaners.
If his lawyer has any scruples he'd tell Lehrmann to forget about any legal action because he wouldn't want to Ben Roberts Smith or Christian Porter himself.
Considering means you made this shit up for clickbait
Get a life
Excellent. Can we expect to see Brucey cross examined under oath?
We stand with BruceLehrmann
Go for it
This could get interesting.... If he pulls out it leads to more speculation that would not benefit him. If he proceeds it could seriously backfire on him.
While all on benefits?
The weasel won’t because he knows the truth will come out. Go on, do it!
Tell us if he needs a GoFund page.
Good luck with that. It will turn out just as well as Porter and BRS.
And so he should
Let’s hope it backfires spectacularly like a certain SAS case has!
Go get Her Bruce!!!!!!
Only in politics, if it was the public we'd just have to lumb it I wonder how much this is going to cost us the tax payers AlboMP PeterDutton_MP
Sue the arse off the lot of these left wing pricks
this should happen, trial by media destroyed the case.
He should seek the justice denied to him
Good. Exactly what should happen.
The ACT Government needs to explain its role in the circus
Human Rights Act 2004- Section 22 Rights In Criminal Proceedings (1) Everyone charged with a criminal offence has a right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
