I'm not sure if the investigators would rather be known as somebody who the DPP thought didn't want the case to proceed and possibly accused of deliberately throwing it (perhaps due to personal differences or some such)

Or somebody who everyone agrees were just too incompetent (Skills deficient) to manage their part of the case without the DPP holding their hand.

Is the AFP KC (Kate Richardson) in the cross examiners seat now, or is Ms Chrysanthou on behalf of Lisa Wilkinson.
 
Interesting snippet from the Sofronff hearing:

“I don’t hold a candle for Senator Reynolds but (the accusations) were unfair and as far as I was aware, untrue, and played on this so-called political cover-up conspiracy – that Brittany couldn’t complain because all of these things were happening – when there was no actual factual, evidential basis for it,” Mr Whybrow told the inquiry.

He said that during the course of the trial, Mr Drumgold raised concern that Senator Reynolds’s partner was sitting in the back of the courtroom.

“That confused me considering that sitting in the back of the court … was (Victims of Crime Commissioner Heidi) Yates, (Ms Higgins’s friend) Ms Webster, her own lawyer and a whole lot of other people from, if you like, that camp, sitting there throughout it, so I couldn’t understand why Linda Reynolds’s husband sitting in the back of the court presented any different problem. He raised a concern that she might be getting information or having access to information that she shouldn’t.”

Mr Whybrow informed Mr Drumgold that he had received a text from Senator Reynolds asking if he could send transcripts of the proceedings to her solicitor.

 
no-one - that i can recall anyway (and it was the subject of specific questioning at a senate estimates hearing) - can explain the why, how and who of an out of schedule work order brought forward to 'clean' the senators office ..... strange

[edit] and no-one seems interested in asking what the former speaker of the house (tony smith) and senate president (scott ryan) knew - they both viewed security camera footage of the night not long after the incident occurred ..... doubly strange

So a witness to a hearing has their husband attend and asks for a transcript of what's been said so far and a barrister can't figure out why that's not appropriate??

Do you think the husband wasn't telling his wife what was said?

No.
 
Some of the texts coming out will add firepower for Senator Reynolds legal team.

'..... Mr Sharaz told Ms Higgins: “Katy Gallagher messaged me. She’s angry and wants to help. She’s got the context. Says they knew something was wrong because they fired Bruce and not you. They avoided a scandal.”

Ms Higgins: “Can I see her message?”

Mr Sharaz: “Yep! I gave her [The Project] interview for context. I hope that’s okay? She’s not doing anything with it. But I’m also happy to step out and let her talk to you if you want. Basically, I wanted her to get all the context because it’s so complicated.”

Ms Higgins: “That’s fine. It’ll all be public pretty soon anyway haha.”

 
You're next Tanya :

Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds has taken legal action against Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek, claiming Ms Plibersek defamed her in a television interview by stating she had “covered up” Brittany Higgins’ alleged rape.

In a defamation concerns notice obtained by The Australian, Senator Reynolds accused Ms Plibersek of making false statements throughout the Channel 7 interview, that implied she had acted inappropriately during the investigation of Ms Higgins’ allegations and had attempted to “hide the commission of a criminal offence.”

Tanya's only got 28 days.

'While the maximum award for damages and non-economic loss from a defamatory publication is $443,000, Senator Reynolds gave Ms Plibersek the option to “make amends.”

To do so, Ms Plibersek must provide a signed apology, retract her comments, pay Senator Reynolds’ legal costs and pay an “appropriate sum to compensate my client for the damage caused by the publication.” '

Is Reynolds not picking up her tab as she did for action with journalist Aaron Patrick and publisher HarperCollins over a book that the former minister alleged made defamatory statements about her response to Brittany Higgins’ allegations of rape.

What was said was probably true.

Right now ex Morrison government ministers are shitting bullets (probably their pants in Morrison’s case) at a rate of knots.

What was said that was probably correct & informs your conclusion?
 
tanya should call her bluff .... let them initiate proceedings .... then pursue reynolds for every phone call, document, email, meeting, txt msg, social media post etc etc etc relating to higgins under a comprehensive court order of discovery

then go after reynolds staff .... her colleagues .... her family .... friends ...... EVERYONE in reynolds circle (including psychiatric assessments and other records from the hospital that treated her following her 'convenient' breakdown in the middle of senate questions over her management of the higgins tragedy)
 
Perhaps someone should ask Reynolds about her dodgy Defence procurement decisions eg. Hunter class billions over budget, under gunned, running late and the option she knocked back rolling off the production line far cheaper and better armed. Or at least ask where the paperwork for her multi billion decision is......

What form of judge would allow a defamation case to go down that fishing trip. See the claimed defamation detailled in Reynolds action.
