I'll say something very unoriginal, but it's my honest opinion: the Higgins-Lehrmann saga has been an utter disgrace and an indictment on society.

Has anyone got the social media posts Linda Reynolds is upset about?
Why pay for a cheap motel when you can access your office for free? What I don't get is what the people having sex are hiding from. Surely anyone with half a brain whose partner or spouse works away in politics knows that they have affairs all the time.I still think the most damning thing is people/witnesses seemed accepting that Parliament House was the go-to for a little late night drunken nookie. The place where state secrets are within easy reach.
Don’t they have sex motels in the ACT
I guess the idea is that as the public we are expecting politicians and political staffers to go to work to work, just like the rest of us.Surely anyone with half a brain whose partner or spouse works away in politics knows that they have affairs all the time.
I agree, but don't get why these people insist on doing it at Parliament House rather than their Canberra homes. Don't want to wake up the housemate?I guess the idea is that as the public we are expecting politicians and political staffers to go to work to work, just like the rest of us.
Imagine if Coles workers just felt like they needed to duck into the freezer room to hook up, when the shelves needed to be stacked, etc.
It’s unprofessional, it’s not a safe practice and it’s unnecessary.
It’s just basic adulting, isn’t it. There’s a time and a place for everything.
LOL there is no room in the freezer room to hook up, Coles freezer rooms are notoriously under provisioned especially since the they added Coles Online and Head Office wont spring for the stores to get prayer rooms.if Coles workers just felt like they needed to duck into the freezer room to hook up
Seems rather sooky and pettyOne of them was an instagram post from Ms Higgins on 4 July last year referencing an SMH article where Reynolds accuses Federal Attorney General Mark Dreyfus of denying her government funding for legal assistance for representation during the Sofronoff Inquiry. Higgins' instagram post said:
“This is from a current Australian senator who continues to harass me through the media and in the parliament,”
There was another post from Higgins on Twitter on 20 July last year that is also the subject of Reynolds' action:
View attachment 1962425
That twitter post was subsequent to a concerns notice issued on 5 July 2023 by Reynolds' legal team requesting that, amongst other things, Ms Higgins refrain from defaming their client.
Reynolds is also alleging that Higgins’s posts were in breach of a settlement and release signed in March 2021. That settlement (an agreement between the parties to release one another from all future claims, demands, and legal action) allegedly contained a non-disparagement clause. That would be a breach of contract issue rather than a defamation action.
There is a set of five social media posts from David Sharaz that Reynolds is taking action over but I have not seen them.
Concerns have been raised as to why Linda Reynolds has chosen to sue for defamation as a private citizen in the WA Court when the matter has nothing to do with Western Australia and the matter would have seemed best suited to the ACT Supreme Court. I did read an article on why, apart from her being a WA citizen, pursuing defamation action in the state of WA might be advantageous for Ms Reynolds and other politicians but I can't recall its details. In any case, like any WA citizen Reynolds is entitled to take action in that state.
Mainly an indictment on Liberals and the washed up morons who get a job there. These people wouldn't last a week in the corporate world or even at Maccas.I'll say something very unoriginal, but it's my honest opinion: the Higgins-Lehrmann saga has been an utter disgrace and an indictment on society.

I won't tarnish the entire Parliament as I don't think any staffer from Labor or the Greens would be degenerate enough to commit a rape in their boss' office.

Lehrmann was fired for unrelated reasons (even by Young Liberal staffer standards he was s**t at his job), they likely parachuted him into the job at ??? (cant remember the firm) as part of a cover up.What a phenomenon!!
Was Reynold's office in Schrodinger's box?
It is SOP for cleaners and simultaneously an immediately fireable offence..
But is only one, not the other, when observed.
Both outcomes exist until viewed. Then only one outcome exists.
It wasn't a cover up, because it's standard operating procedure for cleaners to be sent in 'looking for condoms'.
It wasn't a cover up, because Lehrmann was immediately fired for such an unusual breach of security protocols.
Also, can anyone explain how the PM didn't know at the time, if this wasn't being covered up?
OR.
That the PM knew, and that that was covered up?
Sure.Lehrmann was fired for unrelated reasons (even by Young Liberal staffer standards he was s**t at his job)
nasty piece of work is reynolds. and who is footing the bill for her vindictiveness.
especially for black diamond
Named after rex conner?Yes
The Rex Hotel
Probably just a good old fashioned shake down.Surely her lawyers have to be advising her that taking legal action in this matter is just not worth it.
Its just dumb to pursue this. About the only reason you would try it is if you were so vindictive that you don't care how much of your own money you're going to torch just to torch the others sides money.

Every 6 minutes a time unit is recorded - to suggest for a minute that they give a rats arse about validity of her claim is pure folly - look at the only winners in the saga that concluded on Monday…The LawyersSurely her lawyers have to be advising her that taking legal action in this matter is just not worth it.

As I said previously in another thread.Hang on, there was a high level inquiry set up by Morrison in 2021 to look into precisely that question.
An inquiry headed by his mate and former Chief of Staff Phil Gaetjens so rest assured it was independent and not subject to any political interference
I wonder what it found?
Ooops that’s right, it never got started. The criminal trial, Covid and pre election priorities got in the way.
Pity.
He didn't want to wake up the live in girl friend (at home).I agree, but don't get why these people insist on doing it at Parliament House rather than their Canberra homes. Don't want to wake up the housemate?
