Episode 313 - Chad, Niko & Liv dive into the latest developments surrounding the allegations made by Brittany Higgins against former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann. In a recent interview on 7NEWS Spotlight, Lehrmann vehemently denied the accusations of rape, providing his own version of events. This marked Lehrmann's first television appearance since Ms Higgins made her allegations public, making it a significant moment for many Australians seeking to hear his side of the story.

Meanwhile, the controversial leaking of private material related to Brittany Higgins has made its way into Bruce Lehrmann's Federal Court proceedings, where the court heard about the publication of an audio recording featuring Higgins, her partner David Sharaz, and two Network 10 journalists, including Lisa Wilkinson, along with text messages sent by Higgins to various parties.

Despite multiple outlets publishing this material over several weeks, the identity of the source remains unclear, adding a layer of intrigue to the ongoing saga. Furthermore, the Coalition is putting pressure on Finance Minister, Katy Gallagher, seeking an explanation for her testimony during Senate estimates. Text messages between Brittany Higgins and her partner, David Sharaz, have been released, suggesting contact with Gallagher days before the story broke, raising questions about the credibility of her evidence before the Senate Committee.
