Network Seven,Bruce Lehrmann,Illicit Expenses

A former Seven producer claims that Network Seven reimbursed Bruce Lehrmann for the cost of “illicit drugs and prostitutes” and covered other perks, including Thai massages and flights to play golf. The producer has provided sworn affidavits detailing the network’s efforts to convince Lehrmann to do a tell-all interview and the subsequent destruction of records. The lawsuit brought by Lehrmann against the network and Lisa Wilkinson is expected to be resolved next week.

Network Seven allegedly reimbursed Bruce Lehrmann for the cost of “illicit drugs and prostitutes” and covered other perks including more than $10,000 for Thai massages, over $110,000 for accommodation, and flights to Tasmania to play golf, a former Seven producer has claimed.

Staffer Taylor Auerbach has sworn affidavits detailing the network’s efforts to convince Mr Lehrmann to do a tell-all interview, and the destruction of records by Mr Auerbach and a colleague afterwards, in a bid to escape legal scrutiny. The year-long lawsuit was due to be resolved in a judgment from Federal Court Justice Michael Lee on Thursday morning. Instead, Mr Auerbach will enter the witness box on Thursday afternoon, and the judgment will likely come next week
