‘Calculated’ media campaign being waged amid Lehrmann defamation trial, lawyers for Ten and Lisa Wilkinson allege

Lawyers for Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson have made explosive allegations that a “calculated” and “concerted” media campaign using restricted court material is being waged to pressure and dissuade witnesses from giving evidence in the defamation trial brought by Bruce Lehrmann.

The subject material included a copy of the contents of Brittany Higgins’ phone, recordings of police interviews with important witnesses, and a recording of the five-hour pre-interview meeting between Higgins, David Sharaz, Wilkinson, and producer Angus Llewellyn.She said it was clear that someone was engaged in a concerted campaign and accused media outlets of “dishonestly” editing the five-hour tape.

“There was no attempt to approach my client prior to broadcast to ask her questions about what was happening in that recording,” she said.
