Network Ten has been slammed over its failure to probe deficiencies in Brittany Higgins’ claims of a federal government rape cover-up, despite winning a defamation dispute with Bruce Lehrmann.

On April 15, Federal Court Justice Michael Lee found Lehrmann was recklessly indifferent as he raped Ms. Higgins on a couch in the office of their then boss Senator Linda Reynolds in March 2019.
