Former political staffer Bruce Lehrmann has settled his defamation case against the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). 

In 2022, another former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins made a speech at the National Press Club in Canberra in which she claimed Mr. Lehrmann sexually assaulted her. The ABC broadcast that speech on the night.
