Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds and her former political staffer Brittany Higgins’ high-profile defamation battle will go to trial in August. The former defence minister, who plans to retire from politics at the next election, is suing Higgins over a series of social media posts she says damaged her reputation. Mediation has failed to resolve the case, which returned to the WA Supreme Court for a directions hearing on Wednesday.
Bennett said polling booth staff and Senator Reynold’s family had provided evidence to the contrary about claims of a lack of support, along with photos of Higgins at parties and her boss’s birthday celebration about the same time. “Senator Reynolds did provide support, every support to Ms Higgins,” he said as he made submissions on some of the particulars and evidence in the case.
