Brittany Higgins' fiance David Sharaz has thrown in the towel in his defamation battle against Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds, as his partner fails to convince a court her case should be delayed because of her mental health issues. The former defence minister, who plans to retire from politics at the next election, is suing both her former political staffer and Sharaz over a series of social media posts she says have damaged her reputation.
He raised doubts over Sharaz's claim he couldn't afford to continue the case. "He lives in a chateau. He hasn't got a job and he's got a QC ... and two solicitors representing him," he said. Bennett said the case against Sharaz would proceed even if he is not represented in court and Reynolds would prove her damages. "If he's impecunious as he asserts in France, he'll go bankrupt," he said.
