‘Hi mate’: Producer’s Lehrmann texts revealed

Bruce Lehrmann ’s plans for a series of international interviews have been revealed in a series of text messages between Taylor Auerbach and his former boss, which were released by the Federal Court

In an affidavit to the court, Mr Auerbach alleged that during the production of the story he was provided with documents from Mr Lehrmann’s ACT Supreme Court criminal trial, in contravention of legal principles, and that Seven paid for or reimbursed Mr Lehrmann for a raft of expenses, including accommodation, meals, drugs and prostitutes.

“He is also going to do interviews with Piers Morgan and Tucker Carlson but they will be after the Australian exclusive,” Mr Auerbach said. Mr Auerbach said any money paid by Spotlight would go into a trust fund, which would be used to pay Mr Lehrmann’s legal fees.Mr Auerbach said he discussed monetary payment for Mr Lehrmann and a figure of $200,000.

However, Mr Lehrmann’s lawyers have accused him of being motivated by “hate” for his former boss, Mr Jackson, and resentment towards his former employer. He also admitted to background journalists against Mr Jackson when it emerged he was in line for a senior role in the NSW Police media unit advising Commissioner Karen Webb.In a series of sworn affidavits tendered to the Federal Court, Mr Auerbach claimed that Mr Lehrmann supplied the network with several pieces of evidence from Mr Lehrmann’s ACT Supreme Court criminal trial.
